[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Virginian</i> <br /><br />Athearn is well aware of the problem, and was trying to line someone up to make new wheelsets last time I talked to them (post-Horizon buy-out), and they will be glad to fix your loco if you so desire. But, they said it might take a year <br />[/quote] <br />No replacements, no parts. What's an inexperienced modeler recourse? There's a few honorable things left that Athearn can do. Recall all the shelf stock and Refund. It's the professional thing to do. What really amazes me is all the time it took to post it's flaw here and on other forums. <br /> <br />Had I been aware of this unresolved issue two weeks back, I may have been so quick to buy the Challenger. <br /> Again their warranty" We warranty against factory defects provided we do not find any sign of unusual wear or customer abuse" and this came e-mail to me from Athearn. <br />A year is just a little too long to wait for a resolution.
