My .02 is that the little 2-4-0 Steam engine in the new LGB American sets is one loveable, well-running, chunky adorable toy! And this is one of the LGB premier China products. Some RhB stock, as well as many "standard gauge" mainline USA freight wagons from LGB are now made in China. I have seen many of these, and even by touch, they seem very well constructed. No, i did not hold the RhB baggage wagon--never hit the store shelves here in CA. The new Rhb freight wagons have a great amount more detail than there previous "German made" counterparts. There have been some QC issues for sure, but LGB is a company determined to make trains that will be in your family for generations, not for one Christmas and then be forgotten when it breaks--thus I believe that any QC issues with their Asia partners will be smoothly corrected. Note that D. Buffington recently said that 80+% of LGB is still Made in Nurnberg, Germany. When there is a QC issue, yes, it may mean the demise of quality for a firm, but when you are talking about Lehmann Patenwerk--a company that does not believe in the overnight-get-rich-quick from a shabby product that breaks---a company dedicated to its customer base---you shouldn't worry in the long run!
