I have >10 MTH O guage locomotives.  Of these I have had to take one back to the dealer where I purchased (this was 10years ago) to have it repaired, due to a pinched wire which was shorting out against the diecast boiler (or some such, I dont remember).  It was returned in working condition.   Other than that I have had 0 problems with my DCS system and locomotives.  Note I do not have HO scale DCS locomotives, as DCC is more than adequate, and you allways have compromises when you try to do both.    I thought the DCS/DCC switch was on all MTH dual mode locomotives (or maybe its the proto3 ones).  I generally beleive that many Oguage types may not want to repair their own equipment, due to the high cost of the Locomotives/rolling stock.  Also non-working Oguage couplers are quite bit different than a Kadee coupler on an HO scale car.  They are not easy nor inexpensive to repair or replace (you end up replacing the attached truck, which will cost you about $20 for a MTH product if memory serves).
