I own two of the Riv FEF-3s(Trainworld) and modelers should be aware of the warranty terms. Lima, the parent of Rivarossi has received a tender offer from Hornby PIC of the UK(March 04) and is currently in the Italin Courts for approval. In the meantime according to the(24 month) warranty conditions ENCLOSED with your locomotive should a failure occur, the loco is to be returned to Lima in Italy since there is no authorizied & free Riv repair center in the US. I didn't like that so I pursued the matter with Phil Walthers, the exclusive importer and distributer for Riv products.. Verbal Addendum to the warranty: With proof of purchase & warranty card, any defective FEF-3 may be returned to Walthers or Walthers dealer(where purchased from) within 12 months for a replacement providing there are replacements on hand. Walthers will NOT repair. Firsthobby told me the same thing so you are covered. Perhaps once & if the buyout is completed(Dec.04) we may learn what the subsequent repair terms will be beyond the 12 month period if any?
