These have several design flaws and the shear complexity of them make them something to be both loved and hated. I can see these being dropped or maybe ran on the ground with the motor not on stripping the gears, etc. All of the wires for the TnA engines are fairly exposed which can cause them to break or become disconnected from the solder connection. In addition the fact they have the 3 AA battery setup with 2 being "hidden" would make them prone to battery leakage.
I still love them though..
I would put the James up there with Henry and Gordon as being the most difficult. They all have a similar style and seem to have similar issues with repairs that are needed. D10 is probably next, then Toby, followed by Percy and finally Thomas.
Out of Henry, Gordon and James, which have you seen broken the most?
Do Henry and Gordon both have fuses as well?
Play nice & have fun!!
