Hi, I am new here but would appreciate feedback and experiences of others.

I am very interested in the Western Pullman and currently I am still saving to hopefully purchase one.

I currently own the Midland Blue Pullman 30-425 which is a nice set, I have owned this for about 3years
but although it has had very little use. One of the drive locos has developed a noise which appears to be the motor
and looks like this needs replacing. Currently with Bachmann for further investigation and I will know the outcome soon.

As the Western Pullman seems to be based on the Midland Pullman I am concerned that this may have similar issues.
As I have recently read on line that someone who purchased the Western Pullman had noise issues with the locos and had
at least one motor replaced, apparently this did not seem to rectify the problem to the individuals satisfaction.

Basically, this is an expensive Train Set and I can not afford to get it wrong. Any help, feedback, assurances reassurances
would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
David
