The only caveat I have on these is they use the K-Line cruise module, and a number of people have had to replace the cruise with the ERR cruise when it failed. 

Any idea why the cruise fails and can it be prevented? 

Former Lionel CTO Jon Z explained this many moons ago. I doubt its still archieved and I don't recall the particulars but it may have to do with speed sensor circuitry failing over time??? Maybe someone with a better memory than mine or Jon Z will chime in.

Also early releases of these would loose chuff. This was rectified by placing a diode in the chuff input to the R2LC. Later ones may have had this done by the dealers. If your engine chuffs reliably then its OK.
