If they've come from eBay you can just return them and eBay will refund you over the seller's head, a lot of sellers (including me) put 'returns not accepted' but at least I mention any problems with an item I'm selling so the buyer knows what to expect. Some buyers have fixed the problems themselves, particularly a PC monitor I sold last year, the menu button had broken inside and I kept getting menus flash up on the screen when I was trying to watch TV or a video, the local computer doctor claimed it 'couldn't be fixed', the buyer fixed it in five minutes! It seems the majority of eBayers will try and sell you a dud but you don't have to accept it. I've got five peaks by Mainline and Bachman, no such problems with mine or they'd go straight back to the sellers.
I recently bought a blue Class 45 (no. 63 "Royal Inniskilling Fusilier" with a DCC chip, it wouldn't move on my 12v DC so I sent the chassis back for an exchange to an analog one. I also changed the decals on my other blue 45 because the number was in the wrong place, though instead of '45 039' I made it no.49 so had to put '49' in four places, that one is "The Manchester Regiment". My other peaks are D100 "Sherwood Forester", D1 "Scafell Pike" and D163 "Leicestershire And Derbyshire Yeomanry" all in green livery. I'm modelling 1967-70 in East Anglia when diesel ran alongside the end of steam. Yes, I know peaks didn't run in East Anglia unless on cross country duties, they could also change regions via the North London Line.
