One of the often missed requirements for doing a custom run is the customer complaints if something isn't just perfect. The main reason for this is what Mike Wolf of MTH, Lionel, Williams, K Line, etc, does. They throw the design over the wall to the Chinese and think their job is over. This will end in disaster. We are in the 21st century and we need to do it right the first time. We must Concurrent Engineer this form of toy train manufacturing. Mike & everyone in the Toy Train industry MUST DO FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION, By doing this there will be no customer complaint or recalls or quick repairing. I am a Senior Electrical Engineer. I have seen it done right and i have seen it done wrong. If you do it right the first time it is fantastic. A good friend said to me: I want to be a millionaire. I want to manufacture it and NEVER SEE IT AGAIN, Enough Said.
