Reviews are horrible for the later versions. Reviews scaring me away. Don't want one that breaks around Christmas. Latest reviews: Bankruptcy, cheaper manufacturer, transformer issues. Sad.

Thanks. You've convinced me. I'll get one and cross my fingers.
Any specific suggestions on how to "care" for these to make them last decades? TIA

It was the O gauge set. I bought it from Amazon and they told me that they've had numerous people return them for similar issues.

The O gauge is die cast metal for the engine. The cars will be plastic. On the G gauge everything is plastic including the track.

The first batch of the cw-80 transformers were horrible. The new ones are much better. If you get a bad one you can return to amazon or contact lionel and they will send you a new one.

You couldn't make a profit listing these on ebay at this price. With shipping, you'd be lucky to sell it at $200. Ebay charges final listing fees on the total sale (including the shipping charge)...

My engine doesn't run. :(
When the transformer is engaged,
1. Lights come on in the passenger cars.
2. Whistle works.
3. Multimeter registers up to 15 volts.
Engine is silent.

I would guess (like just about everything else in this world) quality has gone down over time to reduce costs to match competitor pricing. Toys/items are so cheaply made these days.
