Don't go read the Facebook comments haha. The TDS is at critical mass.
(I'm not trying to take a shot at either side, I'm just constantly blown away at the gnashing of teeth)

I just realized recently there have have been lots of reports of Lionel SD70’s arriving with broken pilots and steps on the front and rear. Don’t need no more problems. I will pass on the Lionel Trump Train. BTW, my post over at the other place was just deleted.

I will pass on the Lionel Trump Train. BTW, my post over at the other place was just deleted. I wonder, did they delete it because you dared to mention Lionel's QC issues or because of President Trump?
I looked at this loco and was surprised to see that it will run on O36 curves. I was slightly tempted but I'm wary of Lionel's quality and I've already ordered the Railking Imperial Trump Train so I'll pass on this one. Besides, it looks too much like the George H. W. Bush loco for my taste. In fact, I think this is Lionel's response to MTH's Trump train. They took the Bush loco and just changed the name on it from Bush to Trump to try to compete. Pretty lame IMHO.
For what it's worth, I looked at Lionel's Facebook page and TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is in full bloom. I think that at least half of FB posts are bickering about politics. Oh well.

I dunno, apparently it’s a very sensitive group over there.
By the time I went back to add the part about the broken pilots, my thread was already canned.
My masked citizen thread was deleted too.

There are two more threads over there on Page 1 about the Lionel Trump Train -- one of which is already locked. I was gonna do a search for "Trump" just to see, but it appears they've disabled the search function now for peeps who don't sign in. Quite the petty management style, but it is consistent with what many of us experienced for YEARS over there. Although I like the Air Force 1 color scheme, it's essentially a knock-off of Lionel's George Bush locomotive. So I think I'll stick with the MTH Railking version. Better bang for the dollar too.

Don’t forget about the “achey breaky” pilot and steps either.

I'm not surprised they deleted your masked citizens thread. They have very heavy handed moderation and no sense of humor, but it's their show and they can run it as they please.
I think your masked citizens thread is both fun and very creative.

Laughter really is the best medicine.
BTW, if you could use a laugh, Netflix has a new Jerry Seinfeld stand up special on.
Beth and I watched it last night and enjoyed it.

These are words I live by:
Don’t waste time (and money) on new Lionel or other forums. 😂
