How do you fix pilot droop? (photo)

I looked and looked, but I can't figure out what to unscrew to get it apart.

Dennis, if it were me, I would call 1-800-MTH and get a return authorization. This is their issue and I am sure they would be happy to correct this problem on a brand new engine.

If you look closely at the photo, it appears that one section is bent up while the other appears to be bent down.

I'm with the "send it back" folks.  If you try to bend it back and it breaks, you're really out of luck.

Problem is I am on my way to Florida in a couple of days so shipping back and forth will be an extra problem.  There is an authorized MTH service center in Toledo that I called last week, but probably due to the holidays, I got an answering machine and no call back.  I assume they do warranty repairs and it shouldn't cost me.  I could also save the shipping that way.

And this is the same new loco set where you had to patch up a chafed wire that shorted out? Bummer.

 Where's Farmer Bill? there's got to be some joke about pilots drooping..............

close the bar early???

Yep, Ace.  Same engine I posted photos of on the DCS forum.  This is the first time I have received a bum engine.  I don't like it much.  I'm considering sending off a letter with photos to MTH.
