Not sure what you're referring to as nonsensical - my comment or Lionel's issues. I refuse to spend $600 on a model locomotive which I cannot put on the track and have it run properly. That's not enjoyment - it's aggravation. The $600 does not come that easily for me these days.

Have to agree. One other poster, when this issue first became apparent, proclaimed that for a "cheap" engine, issues are to be expected........a $600+ engine isn't what I would classify as "cheap"............
I have one of these Moguls collecting dust and cobwebs. Very pretty to look at but I want to run it. The longer this it sits, with no info from Lionel, the more I consider ways of getting rid of it - including a full refund.
............And, FWIW, I pulled my Mogul off the shelf and put it on the track - first time since I got it within a week of it's release. Ran for about a foot and it stalled with the cab light flashing. Back on the shelf it went.
