A penny saved is a penny earned. But every once in a while it is good to treat yourself to a gum ball.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Notch 8 Sorry to hear your Polar Express quality was not where it should be. I keep waiting for the day that the add - on whistle breaks off my locomotive as well. Perhaps there will be a plentiful source of replacement ones at the parts houses for years to come. The problem that I had with my set was that the whistle in the tender sounded like a dying cow. After several attemps at repair I eventually had to turn the complete whistle around 180 degrees. After that that change everything works fine. The thing that worries me is if there are little problems popping up here and there with QC issues now, how many parents outside of the hobby buy this set (at full MSRP and beyond) for thier children and experience similar problems? And how many will then forget model trains completely? It's nice to see a model train besides Thomas have the potential to become main stream, but if every one out of four sets has a problem, how big of a black eye will it be for Lionel?
