Well, I just recently got a LionChief GP-9 and I absolutely love it. It ran first time out of the box with no problems and it is still running now with no problems. In fact, I ran it today for a full hour. I think they should at least run a locomotive before shipping it out. They used to do that. I remember years ago, someone, I think it was CBS, did a documentary on Lionel. Back then, they were still in Michigan. Part of the video showed a lady seated at a table just running one engine after another. Maybe someone, like a reporter for OGR, could address this situation directly with Lionel and just see for sure what is actually going on.
