It’s likely out of the time frame to return it to Gryzboski’s, with whom I’ve never had a problem(bought it early math or late February) but considering it was produced within the last 2 years I thought I’d be able to register it with Lionel- it’s still within warranty- but I was unable to do so on-line.
It’s worked completely fine every since I did the electrical tape thing, but considering that I have a pretty high opinion of both of you and your input now I’m a little concerned and think I’ll try to get this taken care of- whether through Gryzboski’s if possible or Lionel. Thank you for the input @gunrunnerjohn and @Adriatic
