@ed h posted:What's quite quite concerning, if you look at many of the high end sets from the past two years, there are virtually no replacement parts. Some only list just placeholders with only a manual.
That's a very REAL concern, IMHO.
I can no longer justify or risk spending 2K+ on a steam engine when it's unclear if there are replacement parts available and there are essentially no local Qualified Service Stations any longer.
When the Warranty Period expires, you're pretty much left hanging in the wind if anything goes wrong.
Fortunately, there are are several excellent "repair guys" on this Forum who do an excellent job.
Unfortunately, even they need parts.
