What could be causing this? I bought it brand new back around 2007ish and I started noticing this last year. It's getting worse. It is an unpowered locomotive with lights. I have its powered brothers 304 & 303 and they look fine. Could I get someone to fix it? Would MTH fix it even though it's out of warranty? And even worse, will it continue to spread?

You can’t expect MTH to fix something almost 20 years old. That’s like the equivalent of asking for a lifetime warranty….Your problem looks like contamination craze, …..perhaps a tiny scratch had gotten some smoke fluid in it, and unbeknownst to you, it leached into the paint, & crazed it,…….You might find a shell on the secondary market. There’s always a plethora of MTH shells on the secondary market.

Spot on I had this happen once before it’s smoke fluid or oil of some type.
