QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones The Lionel has mixed reviews. Some peoples (like me) recieved units with problems every where. Mine particularly runs with an uneven wobble caused by incorrectly molded gears in the front engine. The springs in the pony truck cause derailments, the oversized crank pins heads catch on the rods, the tender is way too heavy, and the boiler doesn't balance properly over the rear engine. I found this out after I already ordered one. I have solved some of these problems in mine to make into a half decent locomotive. I say go with the Genesis if you can. I haven't heard any thing bad about them except the sound which apparently isn't as good as QSI.
