Last evening my brother came to help set up my new Christmas train – Lionel’s “”Christmas Light Express.”” I ha perched this train in late November and – Donnie was helping set thins up for the grandkids coming tomorrow - we took it out of box – set it up – applied power and it immediately began to smoke - the beginnings of an electrical fire – quickly shut it off before serious damage.
Now an interesting twist to this story – Donnie had bought the same train – different time and different dealer – Last weekend He set it up for his grandkids – the music ca caught fire and burned .
Not Good

Not only no good - terrible! Lionel will have to recall these sets.

That’s awful - so disappointing, not to mention dangerous. It seems the accounts of poor quality control are becoming more frequent, and from multiple manufacturers. It’s a frustrating position when companies have no control over their China production quality.

I would be pissed. I would call Lionel first day they re-open for business next week.

Does anyone here remember “Protoflame”. MTH had produced a steamer that had an overactive smoke unit. Flames would shoot up from the stack. They eventually did replace the smoke units under a recall.
