Hi Jim. I haven't had any of those issues with any of my On3 OMI engines, and I hadn't had any real issues during the time I actually worked with Tom in Muncie. There were repair problems with some detail soldering. I do recall a few tweaks that had to be done on the Sn3 74's, which were produced before I was directly involved.

I had taken a position in the DC area in March or April of '88, about the time when the C-18's were coming in and spent a career oddessey for the next several years.

The On3 OMI B-4-F's and B-3-C's and the C-18's and K-36's were built by MS Models in Korea. Mr. Park had worked with Samhongsa previously, and tried very hard to please Tom Marsh. The Passenger Cars were built by M.S. Models and the Cabooses by Ajin Precision.

I think M.S. Models also built the Sn3 locomotives but those all came in after I had left, and I never reviewed any of the pilot models for those projects as I had on the On3 locomotives. Sounds like there were some quality control issues after M.S. had worked so hard to push for more projects. Sorry you've had to fix things on them.
