We have a guy in our club who gives me stuff to repair. Every time he tells me what’s wrong, there’s two, three, maybe more things wrong. Not to mention there’s no lubricant on any points needing it and he jokes about that fact! Also, he takes his fine detailed models, wraps them in towels, stuffs them in a tub, and wonders why all the details fall off!
In addition, a good friend of mine, who was a dealer in WNY many years ago, had a customer who bought all the latest and greatest Lionel stuff to run on his attic layout. There was no heating or cooling for the space and he had to be careful where he parked his trains because the roof leaked!
