Any reading on reliability between the two motors?

@Chuck Sartor posted:
So far the vast majority of defective motors has been from the earlier series engines. The newer all metal cased motors last a lot longer than the earlier plastic top motors. That is the white top. The yellow top seems of better quality also. Whether the original style was discontinued or Lionel decided to up-grade the quality I'm not sure, but the ones they are using now in these engines seem to be of better quality.

Per Chuck, the yellow capped motors seem to be more reliable. Which is good news to those with the new LC+ 2.0 Docksiders
