z.scale.hobo offers two different pricing levels for our Micro-Trains locomotives to better compete against other dealers and to offer a guaranteed successful out of the box experience.

UNTESTED: We will not test the locomotive, instead we simply pass it to you without any manipulations. Any issues with the locomotive will be under standard Micro-Trains warranty and we cannot help you with return shipping in case of defects or troubleshooting efforts. For issues, basic troubleshooting tips will be offered. Tips such as "try burning in the locos a bit longer," "manipulate pickup strips," dead units - "re-adjust circuit board yourself." In case of return back to MTL, you will need to pay for the return label. Mis-matched speed with other similar units or other MTL units is not cause for return.

TESTED: We test run the locomotive, we expose any basic faults and inform you ahead of time, fixing what we can and in bad cases, we send it back to MTL before sending to you. We also post a YouTube video of your locomotive on its final test run before we ship it to you. In case of defects upon receipt at your end, we send you a pre-paid label to send the unit back to us for repair/ refurbishment if necessary. Noise level and chassis wobble are not warranted! Units are not tested for speed matching and returns are not allowed for this issue.

STATUS: IN STOCK!
