I bought a spectrum 2-10-0 from the favoritespot a few weeks back and it was DOA. Sent it to Bachmann 2 weeks ago for repairs. Got a new one back today and I've been running it on the layout. Works great. I called bachmann tuesday to make sure they got my loco and I was told it would be 4+ weeks to fix it. Turned out to be 4+ days. GREAT JOB, BACHMANN. THANKS, Paul
