The Tycos I remember didnt stay on track more than three loops.One in particular got tossed into the trashcan after derailing while coupled to any kind of train.The behavior exhibited by these units were not acceptable to one who was in a world where Brass, can motors, creeping operation etc were king.Tyco make me quit hobby, Athearn's Blue Boxes saved it for me.That was long ago and a different life. And a wasted one at that.I suppose there is a little bit of thought to the Tyco once in a while wondering if they would have done much better with the trackwork I can put down now Im not even going to venture there and follow up on that path.I had a lifelike trainset with the open frame single truck motor that racked up 20 years of service and then some. Compared to Tyco, Lifelike was a superior product.
