I am thinking about buying Lionel's green R-27 subway set from 2007. I have a few questions:
- First, the obvious question: What do people who own this set think of it? Would you recommend buying it or should I look at something else?
- I run in conventional mode (275 Watt ZW transformers) only. Will these units work ok in this environment? Does anyone else operate like this?
- My understanding of these is that, like the Acela, the doors can stick open or closed. Are there easy ways to fix this, or do they need to go somewhere for repairs (e.g., factory or authorized service station)?
- These will operate on a loop that has O54 curves. Is that ok or are O72s needed? I know they're rated for 036 by Lionel, but I'm worried about excessive overhang of the cars as much as anything else.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help.
