Brian,
You give up way too easy.... You are willing to return your engine after you spent all that time building it, for something as simple as chipped/flaking paint on a small area? If you get derailed that easy, and find necessary to go off publicly on MLS like that, then live steam is probably not a good idea... I wish I had problems that minor. I would have repainted it like Fred did and got on with running trains.
