@Norton posted:First off, nice work Dave. Thats an impressive piece of engineering.
As for future repairs, put lack of parts as the major concern now. . . . I know there are still zero mechanical parts for the J3a Hudsons and they have been out for nearly a year.

I was impressed by what I saw of trains in this video - but then I am hoping to be, as I have a GS-5 on pre-order.
The parts situation, however, is no small concern, as I sense Lionel might have gone over to maintaining a minimal inventory of parts, in particular where they are specific to certain high end engines. Dave's commentary reminded me that there are almost Heinz 57 varieties of the GS series.
