[quote]QUOTE: With all these people having to send locos back for repair, how does that make them a good product? [/quote] It doesn't make them a good prouduct. [quote]QUOTE: I am assuming we are referring to the Spectrum series and not the lower end Train Set grade models.[/quote] Nope. At least the othe Bachmann topic that's on here is about the "train-set" model. As for Spectrum my 2-8-0 has been the worst piece of sh** The wires you have to connect to the tender were broken right out of the box. Took it to the LHS. Wires got fixed. Still doesn't run. Took it directly to the repairman. Still doesn't run. Next week i'm sending it to Bachmann at a cost of $20 plus i have to pay to ship it to them. [quote]QUOTE: even though Bachmann is a well established and reputable company who stands by their products which is commendable, I question their quality. Budliner has sent 7 units back for repair , that's not something to brag about in terms of product reliability or company image[/quote] I agree. All these people seem to want to buy regular Bachmann because their DCC and inexpensive. Well I'll stick with high quality (Athearn, Atlas, P2K) Just because a company will fix your "junky" engies doesn't mean you should buy them. My [2c]
