Forgive me fellas for starting a new post on this subject. I just took delivery of my Ice Cold Set and right out of the box are problems. The engine is fine but the cars are not.
Question on the engine; There is no sticker on the end flap of the engine box. Does anybody know what number Lionel gave this engine?
Now the cars. One car I suspect is cross wired at the truck. First turn on of power and one truck spring lit up like a roman candle.
Another car has a broken brake fixture under the car. It appears that it was broken at the factory and glued back together. Examining another cars brake rigging and I can see obvious tinkering with the broken rigging.
The third car had something rattling around the end compartment with the diesel engine. I extracked a broken of radiator grill shell.
The caboose is so far all right although I have not tried out the smoke unit.
Now it in on to Lionel and to get an RA number to return a $1000 set.
