Re: Atlas O 2021 Christmas box car with LED's Any issues?

So I walk in to a train store today and found 2 of the 2021 Christmas box cars sitting on a shelf. Asking price was full retail of 99.98. Thought these were hard to get so I thought the price would be OK. I was prepared to go back tomorrow to buy one of them. Then I googled the box car and found one review where the LED's went up in smoke within seconds. So what are your experiences. Did you have a defective one? Did atlas make good on it? If I buy one now will it still have a warranty?

I have one I got for Christmas last year and used it last year and again this year. I have no issues. Atlas is still making the same car so you probably wouldn’t have any problem dealing with them if something happens. Go buy it it’s a nice addition to a Christmas train.

I’ve got the 2021 Christmas car as well as the LED 2021 and 2022 Halloween cars and the 4th of July LED car.

I haven’t had any problems with them and they’re really nice cars.

Online they might be slightly cheaper, but after shipping the price will be about the same or more so I would support your local hobby store.

Have two Halloween cars, run them alot thru Sept/Oct and have had no issues... I believe they are the light system from MTH. Just a guess.
