Of course, damage caused by trips to the basement floor, running your locomotive 

around 18” radius curves at ridiculously high speeds, throwing it to your friend across 

the room, picking it up with wet paint on your hands, or any other damage caused by 

you that we haven’t been able to cover here is not covered by the warranty. However, if 

catastrophe does strike and your locomotive gets damaged, please give us a shout and 

we’ll do our best to help you out. 

Yes, even if it was your fault we will try our 

best to fix your locomotive for you. Don’t be shy!
