Since your post calling the train "el cheapo" was on the robotics forum when I
found it (and I don't normally hag out on the train forum), I am in the dark
about the origination of the term.
The new train was not designed to be "cheaper" - which implies that it is more
fragile, less reliable, etc. - it was designed to be "more affordable" or "lower
cost". These terms are the same as cheap.
