I spoke to Jeff at MM trains to follow-up on my repair being done in partnership with George. I was told he rec’d about 4 more with similar issues. Turns out, MTH says it is a design problem as opposed to component failure. MTH wants the units brought in for design fix, whatever that means. I think the tender PCs was a new design. This late in the game for MTH to use new board design when Mike is exiting makes no sense unless driven by cost or obsolescence. I sincerely hope whatever mystery entity or entities purchases segments of MTH can support their electronics.
The irony here is I bought this one after the paint fiasco with Lionels version. So much for that. At least I will have a good looking version when done. With that, if anyone has 1 sealed in box, you might consider testing it while under warranty.
