I opened up the carton and was relieved that the units appeared undamaged. I was aware that there was an issue with a capacitor in a prior dummy which was a hazard and was happily surprised that there is now what appears to be a bridge rectifier and two resistors along with the capacitor.
The unit is incredibly light but the paint, although not lionel or MTH quality, not filled with fingerprints or other clearly noticeable defects.
I have not yet put it on the track but wanted to send photos out of what I have to date.
