I have the modern culvert loader & unloader installed. Unloader works perfectly. Loader works except it drops culverts an inch or so OVER the culvert car. Drops culverts on track bed instead of where they belong (in the culvert car). Would appreciate any suggestions to fix this very irritating situation. Thanks !!
Mine did that too. It was a manufacturing defect that went undetected until a couple containers worth had already been shipped to the US. The problem is the position of the tiny switch on the overhead track the load trolley runs in. The position of the switch is off by about an 1/8th of an inch. I fixed mine by drilling two new holes and moving the switch. I also filled in the holes on the car in the track with electrical tape making it less likely culverts would snag.
At the time Lionel was taking them back for repair. You may want to reach out to them and see if they are still repairing them.
