Metro Red LineI have an N scale Intermountain SD40T-2. The shell will crack if you look at it the wrong way.
There is no reason why a plastic shell should be so brittle. I would ask them to replace it. I'd be suprised if they said no.
Metro Red LineIntermountain should have made their N scale loco bodies out of eggshells - I mean, it's a much stronger material than what they're using.

ATSFGuy Do the Intermountain ES44AC GEVO's run well? I was planning to get 2 in the SF Warbonnet Scheme, can they be paired with an Athearn Genesis ES44AC GEVO?

If it's HO, mine runs very smoothly, no issues. (My lone Intermountain unit is a ES44AC.)
I have zero experience with Genesis GEVO units.
But I have successfully MU'd it (IM GEVO) with a Genesis SD70ACe....
EDIT: And, my IM GEVO is also a "Fantasy" scheme.... But it is in EL paint.
