QUOTE: Originally posted by ineednot Thanks for all the replies to my question. I think I might wait to see if Lionel may come out with one as well. I feel in love with the challenger they offer in the HO scale. Does anyone like what Lionel has done lately?

I guess what I'm saying is you better be prepaired to dough out more money for a repair shop if you can't do that work yourself. (Hence forth why I stopped at $325..that and my budget won't go any further!) As of now, you have to ask the distributor such as Walthers as to domestic warranty exchange since there is NO Riv authorizied/free domestic repairs. I received that exchange(12 months) assurance directly from Walthers when I bot my FEF-3s. Once beyond 12 months is the question going forward and NOBODY has that answer. The FEF-3 carries a 24 month repair warranty but then that would have to go to Italy for free service and it costs $21.00 to ship it.

Obviously if someone rereleased the engine (BLI.. hint hint..) I will be willing to push my pennies towards 500- but it will be a major purchase and frightfully expensive. For the money I would ask for QSI and DCC .
