Reply to "I am NEVER buying or pre-ordering again!"

I had been wanting Lionel to make a Legacy J3a for YEARS.

They finally do, and I dumped my preorder after issues with previous trains I preordered (Legacy H10) and was disappointed. Good thing as there are issues with that new J3a, i.e. 5 chuffs, silver smokebox etc.

Add to that "I" , have never been able to get through to Lionels CS since the departure of MR.

I'm now focused on older NIB items, and for less than 50%of the cost of the new version, you can't go wrong.

The never ending "issues" with new big ticket items, as well as the easy stuff like rolling stock, has put me through the Betty Ford of model trains in a hurry.

The excitement over the new catalogs has dwindled to the point I don't really even look at it anymore.

No regrets.
