So, I have purchased about two SD70ACE engines and one SD70AH engine over the past year and half. I really like them but one issue I have had with all of them is broken steps on the front and rear pilots right out of the box. I tried to order a whole new pilot for one of my Union Pacific models and Lionel is sold out. I am guessing because others have had the same thing happen. My question is does Lionel know about this common problem and has anything been done to address it in regards to manufacturing and packing so as to reduce the occurance.
