aggro jones ;; your post was specific in that BLI has so many screwed up loco's , that they had the nerve to try to sell off their returns/refurbs/ seconds , or whatever you want to classiffy them as. Don't turn my post around, I did not state Bachmann or others have an outlet mall/store/ whatever. They unload merchandise just like every other company. Whatever way they can. You suggest in you post as if this is some awful tactic. I don't want to argue with you about the way manufacturers clean up their messes. Think about it ,and you'll see many ways that are used to get rid of under performing merchandise/ or screw up's in manufacturing.Here's one-Last years P2k geeps were dumped on the consumer, and then everyone had to get replacement plastic gears from them and do it themselves, or send them in. Probably thousands of defective engines. They all do it , one way or another. At least BLI isn't misleading anyone. BLI defects, I'm sure they have their share. Where do you suppose Bachmann and P2K get rid of their refurbished units ? If nobody is stating they have refurbs/seconds, from them for sale, I would have to believe that they are being misrepresented as brand new from resellers. Or else you can be naive and believe they don't have any . Where did you come up with the fact that BLI has so many returned engines ? Do you have an insider at BLI ? My LHS owner sold a lot of them,and had only 1 complaint/defective unit from an customer ,which was then properly fixed. Seems like you got a bad unit , and your mind is made up.
