- bombcar 4y agoThe motors for the trains are better than that because they're designed for continuous use (somewhat) but yeah, at the end of the day Lego is a toy.
- jacquesm 4y agoThat's why they're not fussy about replacing the few that wear out, the average use is frequently after the first purchase and then it drops off sharply so I guess they decided it wasn't worth designing around long usage. In the older trains you could replace the little motor easily, with the newer ones (starting with the infamous 'red' motor a long time ago) that practice ended and you have to replace the entire unit.
