The only true "dogs" that I know of are the Erie PAs. In fact, I have had more problems with one sample of a diesel from your favorite brand (to go unmentioned <grin> but now resolved) than with all of my Flyonel combined. A good Flyer buddy here in Midland has run Flyonel engines for extended periods with no failures either. Again, much could be done to improve the Lionel Flyer line, but pulling power and chronic field failures are not among them.
