I cannot think of a competing train manufacturer that would honor the warranty today (2022) of a 2013 produced product- I don't care how sealed the box is and being brand new on a shelf. A 2013 produced product is not "brand new" no matter how you want to spin it in your head. It's 9 years old.
Even Lionel's warranty policy excludes this. https://www.lionelsupport.com/warranty
