Whoa, I say Whoa there............. <br />I didnt really have an actual "Cornfield Meet".... <br />I am a little faster on the draw than that, although, since I have a long layout, if I wasnt paying attention, I could have. <br /> <br />The point is this: <br /> <br />1. I have a Broadway E-7 that has rattled since day 1, and yes I live in Beaverton, Oregon, and I took it directly to Quantum Sound, and they replaced a speaker, and it still rattled, and when I pointed it out, they said, "Well its probably just the shell rattling, fiddle around with it a little bit, and see if it goes away", and pretty much showed me the door. <br />2. They announced the SW7/NW2 switchers a year and a half ago, and they have been postponing the release dates time and time again, and they wont even respond to my emails asking when is the switcher due out. <br />3. When they do release it - IT RUNS BACKWARDS TO EVERY OTHER LOCOMOTIVE I OWN - AND THATS OVER 150 OF THEM - ANALOG / DCC / DUAL MODE <br />4. Quality Assurance - WHAT QUALITY ASSURANCE - and yes mine does say made in China. Oh yes, it looks nice, it runs good ( a Kato its not) the sounds are OK, too much reverb on the horn, and one of my pair has a noisy mechanism <br /> <br />For $165.00 the thing should at least run the right direction. <br /> <br />Defend Broadway if you must. As far as I am concerned to release a locomotive wired backwards only tells me someone is asleep at the helm. Come on..... <br /> <br />On a scale of 1 to 10 ( with 1 being the best and 10 the worst) <br /> <br />I rate them <br /> # 1 for features & looks <br /># 10 for quality assurance & customer satisfaction <br /> <br /> <br />
