Dan, <br />Keep and eye our for wobbly wheels. USAT had prolems with axle housing splitting when it ented the gear box and allowed the wheels to wobble. I think they have fixed it in new production loco's but a lot of the old versions are still sitting as "new" on the shelf in some stores and they can have that problem. I bought a "new" GP38-2 loco and it had that problem. However, I contacted USAT and sent them a copy of my receipt along with the bad axels and they sent me replacements. I pulled the axles out myself rather than try to ship the whole loco in. You should be OK but should be alert in case you get some old "new" stock. <br />Welcome to the world of large scale! You will love it. Will keep any rust from collecting on your credit card[^] <br />Paul D
