All of the locomotive builders had problems with unhappy customers . Usually the loco builder would send a mechanical engineer to remedy a problem .However , some small railroads were very unhappy with their product. If the company didn't remedy the situation, smaller roads simply quit paying the manufacturer. As a consequence mpost manufacturers had a problem with returned locomotives. All of the builders had returned locomotive inventories.
