Reading on another forum that there is a serious problem with the motors overheating on the latest Lionel Alcos. The LCCA AT&SF, the Alaskan and the M&St L all have the same problems. You may want to check it out before sending it back just for the paint problems.

Mine arrived today - they look awesome, but the orange paint flaked off the both pilots during transit... anyone else have this problem??  I could see if it was just one unit, but the same thing on both which makes me think it was a production issue, not isolated. I guess I have to send it back to Lionel after the holidays - just wondering if they all came shipped like this?
