With each thread that I read on this subject, I become increasingly inclined to cancel my pre-order of Lionel's Strasburg decapod. Regardless of the price, if you buy an item that is brand-new, it should work perfectly right out of the box. Anything less than that is unacceptable. As much as I would like to have a model of #90, I am not Joe McDoakes reincarnated, and I don't want the headaches associated with opening the box only to find a list of defects that should've been caught and corrected at the factory. One of the things I enjoy about this hobby is the "tinkering" involved, but not on brand-new trains. If you start "tinkering" with a brand-new train, you run the risk of Lionel voiding your warranty--that is, of course, assuming you ever get a response from them in the first place.
