Reply to "Can a loco be rated C-7 Excellent, if electronically or mechanically it doesn't work correctly?"

Hey Folks,

I am confused by ads, even from big retailers, that are selling used locomotives.  Often, they state that the loco is rated C-7 in Excellent condition.

I ran into this exact same issue from a reputable retailer.  I was shocked.  The engine came up as "needs maintenance" when I ran it on DCS and the paint was damaged.  Perhaps it just needed a new battery but the paint was a deal breaker.  Fortunately, they accepted the return without question.  I've since purchased  again from them but I only buy LN (like new) and have had no issues since.

I thought common sense tells us what "excellent" means.  I was wrong.  But "like new" or "new" are indisputable.   Right?
