I did purchase a Terrier about a year ago with a view to converting it to an E (but in HO), the loco ran very nicely and smoothly, but I was a little concerned that the instructions seemed to indicate that after 150 hours the motor would be worn out and need replacing. This was not the reason I disposed of the model, but it did have a bearing as I have a converted Fleischmann "Black Anna" 0-4-0T, which was acquired second hand, and has done an awful lot more than 150 hours on it's, I believe, N gauge motor.
As you know I model HO, both European and British outline, but I still intend to buy the occasional OO model, namely Bachmanns 4CEP in blue/grey, and a couple of Bullieds - but not with the intention of running them very much.
I seriously think there is a problem with some of the far eastern motors and these must be addressed before very much longer.
