Happy New Year to all. Hope you have a successful, healthy and prosperous new year, loaded with lots of fun.
My fun started off great with a new train under the tree, a reproduction of a classic Lionel tinplate train. Unfortunately, the fun didn't last long as the locomotive in the new set stopped working after about five minutes of running. I found a loose cable, replaced it but it came loose again quickly. Three more tries with the same results and I gave up. This morning, I called the manufacturer's service department and set a return for service. It will be in the mail in the next hour or so. Here's what it looked like before the failure.
Happy New Year!
