    When we stop going to China to make products for "cheaper labor". But then i guess that becomes a reflection of price. Build it here, pay more i suppose.

    Bachmann McKinley Explorer Question(s)

    Good to know info on the controller(s)! As for the track, she'll be fine with the steel track. The train will probley see very very little use from her to be honest and this set will more then likely end up with me in a few months anyways lol :)

    Model Power Track Question(s)
