[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by LGBFan123 [ Enjoyed your comments. When I give my opinion I bet there are probably some who think that, to me, LGB can do no wrong. That is untrue. LGB has made some big no-no's in the past. Even before the China outsourcing, I had passenger cars with shabby paint jobs--and these were bought brand new from retailers. The dual-paint schemes are much more precise now than in the 1980s, there is no bleeding and the liveries (lettering,etc.) is much more prototypical for both Euro and American stock. For the most part with locos and rolling stock, I think LGB is improving in quality. [/quote] My above comments may illicit a bunch of flamed responses, so I will add that no, I have not purchased a US Trolley (on a German themed pike, c'mon!??) nor have run any of the new American stock on my tracks (although my brother has a growing US-themed LGB collection and so far we like the stuff he's purchased running on his rails). My comments on the fact that LGB seems to be improving in quality is from my own purchases, namely new European rolling stock. I do have one issue with a newer Euro-style Christmas car, being that the side gates and landing don't mesh well like the older units, and this car did not come with Euro buffers or buffer mounts. I assume they kept the mounts off so that American-users can easily hook knuckle couplers to it for their pleasure. Unfortunately, I no longer have the box to see if it came from China or from Germany!!
