Boeing begins flying back planes refused by Chinese airlines Beijing orders carriers to stop taking deliveries of US jets as part of its trade war strategy (130 undelivered Boeing airliners won't now be paid for and will have to be sold off elsewhere! That's about $25-30Bn of product) https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3006447/boeing-begins-flying-back-planes-refused-by-chinese-airlines

This is getting silly. I now have four Digitrax BXPA1 reverse modules. The first two I bought (on the left) have both developed an identical fault, the LocoNet interface has died. I’m hoping it’s a batch fault that has evaded the other two I now possess, the second of which has just been installed over lunchtime.

Plan is to stick the faulty ones in the post for repair - they have to go to Florida for that - and then sell them on once returned. If neither of the other two develop a fault in the meantime (I really hope I’m not foreshadowing, here…)
