I really don't worry too much about people who disparage PW Lionels. I have had a bunch, worked on a whole lot of hem and given their age, they do pretty well. Especially considering you don't know how they have been treated. Think about it -the REAL RR engines from that time period weren't nearly as sophisticated as the new ones. Just having a radio in the 50s was a big deal. Lionels and the old EMDs being rebuilt sort of remind me of each other. It is a FACT-the PW Lionel engines were/are a simple, strong, well engineered long lived piece that will be around for many more years. The nay-sayers better get used to it.
