Did anyone notice with this loco that there was really a little too much play in the pony trucks? Especially the lead truck, with has a tendency to flop around loosely not only from side-to-side, but also up and down. It just seemed to me, while doing a brief test run, that the lead truck had a tendency to lift one wheel off the rail, almost as though the engine itself is not properly balanced. It could have something to do with the fact that I just snapped together some of the track out of the IHC box, so it may have been pretty unlevel. I'm just hoping it isn't the loco itself, though.

Today the Canadaland dollar is worth 97cents to the U.S.peso.

IHC retails the engine alone for around US $129.95 on sale.  So getting the whole set for $99.95CAN is a decent price as the engine alone is worth much more than that.

 

Currently that converts to about $88 USD.
