For those who have been following this thread, here is the latest update. Yesterday, I received Turbo back from MTH via FEDEX(The three times that it has been shipped back from MTH it has come via FeDEX so I assume that is who they are now using). In fairness to MTH, I give them credit for their replacing the broken parts(the broken tab/eyelet on the coach car and the broken step on the truck sideframe). They also repaired/reinstalled the truck gear back into the powered truck assembly. So far, all three times the work/repairs have been done under warranty at no cost. It is now at the point that the factory warranty period is finished(except for repairs that carry a 90 day warranty). This weekend, our club will be set up at the New Eagle VFD train show, and I am going to run Turbo to give it a workout and see if everything operates correctly. I will give another update after the weekend is over.
