rtraincollector posted:I'll stick to my postwar and prewar trains
I'm with you, I have mostly postwar and LTI trains. I like them and I can control my expenses on repairs. I've thought about stepping into the 21st century and buy some high ticket Lionel steam engines, but when I read stories like these, I'm reluctant about paying $1k to $2.5k for something that's new, but inferior out of the box.
