Nice video I would like to know if Lionel has improved it's quality control . One third of the Lionel trains that I've bought new have been defective out of the box. These defects include wheels that wont turn because the trucks are defective and wiring that was not soldered correctly to begin with !
@daviddahms16962 жыл бұрын
Dan, I have experienced much the same thing, although my rate is 1/2 of all new Lionel purchases of engines and railsounds cars have had to be returned for factory repair work right out of the box. Please, please Lionel improve quality control in manufacturing. I love the new designs and features you are creating. They are GREAT, but now I almost dread taking a new engine or railsounds car out of the box just hoping this time it works right and I don't have to send it back to Lionel repair which with postage and return often takes 3 months plus.
