I am wondering what veterans can say about average lifetime of their locomotives. HO in particular. Assuming the locomotive is of hobby quality like Genesis, Spectrum, Kato, Atlas. How many years (or months) can it run before failing. <br />What is the most failure-prone part, motor or gears ? <br /> <br />I seldom see complaints here about these kinds of failures, which leads me to belive that hobby railroading is by far the most technically reliable hobby of all (R/C aircraft, cars, boats) <br />
