I have a Roco PA-1 that was made in Austria in the 1960's. I converted to DCC in 2003. This is still a real work horse. The shell needs a new paint job, but what 45 year old diesel doesn't? Also an Athearn F-7, bought in the 70's is still going strong. Another Athearn, an SW-7 that was bought about 10 years ago has had the motor replaced. This was a warrenty replacement, so might just be one bad apple in the barrel. <br />Treat them with TLC, keep them clean and properly lubed, and they may out live you. <br />Now that we have DCC, try not to stage too many train wrecks. It is hard on the motive power.
