I bought one new in 2004. No problems to date. 6-31733. It's the Jones & Laughlin slag train set. http://www.lionel.com/products...train-loco-2-6-31733
I was raised in Cleveland along the Cuyahoga Valley with the J&L steel mill and a blast furnace a mile or so away....I'll never forget the distinct smell of mills! As a kid I'd visit the 'hobos' along the tracks. They had a small shed. First time I saw the Playboy Marilyn Monroe pic was on the wall of the shed. I know TMI. Feeling nostalgic I guess.
