Ignorance is Patriotic
I'm sure almost everyone on this forum has at least a few pieces of rolling stock that have a broken stirrup step or two, whether it be from an accident, a derailment, or handling the car roughly. The question is, do you bother fixing it immediately?
I have a few cars that have these details broken, and I always tell myself that I'll get around to fixing them someday. It seems, though, that these repairs are very low on my list of priorities when compared to building new kits, painting, weathering, running trains, etc. In the meantime, I just let these cars run in revenue service while I ignore the problem, even if the FRA or the ICC is fining me up the @$$ for my negligence.
Do you fit into the same category, or do you instantly repair and/or refuse to run your equipment if it has a few broken details?
