Having worked part time at a local hobby store, I can certainly attest to seeing my share of repair work come in from "That Guy". Some high end locomotives would come back just a few months later with numerous layers of dirt, grease, scratches and broken parts. One episode I'll never forget was a customer who purchased a Legacy Big Boy (2007) for their 5 year old, needless to say just about everything that could be broken was. What was most puzzling was the parent who bought the 5 year old the Legacy Big Boy, he just couldn't understand why a $1700 high end loco couldn't withstand the abuse of a 5 year old.
