Yes BMoran, I have come to the conclusion you can't just sit back and gaze wistfully at them running all the time!
I do know that in the real world trains break down and have to be repaired, so in for a penny, in for a pound.
Comforting to know the LC line is not poisoned, thank you.
I do love the LC stuff, especially my Rio Grande FT AA units. Any time I get the pleasure of showing them off my guests just look on with slack-jawed awe!
