New factory, new engineering, old problems come back. Remember the first run of Lionel 2-8-0 locos with Vanderbilt tenders from 20 years ago? It's like they never made a train before.
That's the problem when there are not design engineers dedicated to the product. Everything is built as a brand new one off, rather than the continuation of a long term tradition.
