Being a former West sider I don't recall if the CNW had these Heavy Pacifics but I see the Milwaukee version is advertised by Trainworld for $80.00. Rivarossi may not have made a CNW road name since it's not listed in their 1997-98 catalog. The Milwaukee RIV 5402 is advertised with a five-pole motor,flywheel all metal chassis. In 2001 Walthers 1-800-487-2467 became the sole American distributor of Rivarossi products. It was then, that Walthers warranty policy was "to replace all defective products for up to one year from date of purchase(regardless what dealer purchased from)as long as Walthers have that product in stock" per J.Philip Walthers President. That was then, what the current policy is on these older Rivs, still new & in the box, I don't know. Give Mike Federrly, extension 3267 a call. I own the New Rivarossi Allegheny and two New Rivarossi FEF-3 Northerns. Both these up-graded models carry a 12 month Walthers(not Rivarossi)warranty. Should these units become defective with-in 12 months Walthers will be happy to exchange providing Walthers has them in stock. Walthers does not do repair work . Should repair work need to be done and it's with-in the Rivarossi warranty period, then it has to be returned to Lima, the parent company of Rivarossi in Italy for a shipping cost of approx $21.00 American dollars. Try and check the warranty terms specified in the carton before you buy it or from your dealer. Hornby PLC in the UK has made a tender offer for the Lima assets including Riv. This matter is in the Italian courts at present and if successful, the process should be completed by the end of this year. As such, there are many unknowns at this time. My crystal ball is DC only so I can't tell you anymore. I can't comment on the operating performance of the Pacific. Perhaps orsonroy(Ray) or Nigel of this forum can bring you up to speed.
