He said how cheap it was to make. I responded with cheap I’m sure never entered his mind as he has a lot of big dollar locos. He responded with they where almost all bought used but in very good condition. I think he said that he did by one new. I told him all the 1990’s MTH I had and wish I had kept. But the damn batteries in the MTH locos is a nightmare. I’ve lost several locos because of dead batteries.
I had a Big Boy, Challenger, J, two K-4 pacific’s, two Mikados, E8’s, B6, Hudson. Still have the Hudson. It does not need a battery. No sound system. All needed to have the batteries checked before using. That’s why I sold them. They where great when they ran.
