I returned once a train motor, wich refused to run after 5 minutes of turning
rounds.The internal motor protection actioned to fast, an other train motor
could pull 3m (+-6feet) cars for a half hour withouth any problem. So i disided

Also,if you find bad moulded pieces into your sets, return them to TLG of your
country and they replace them. Talking abouth experience.
