So to me it’s all junk. If a high volume everyday item like a tv can’t last 5 years why on earth would you think a train would? No offense, but seriously?
ps, I love prewR and postwar and I agree they are indestructable!
Dennis,
All good points. Here is your solution...All you need to do is find a Prewar TV somewhere!

Apparently there were about 7000 TV set manufactured in the US before WWII. I am sure there are a few out there somewhere that are operating. As to 21st. Century toy locomotives heavily laden with electronics operating 50 years from now, that remains to be seen. My 671 from 1952, absolutely.
As is my 262 with 262T from 1931/32 still doing well.
