I bought this MTH Wabash Hudson 10 years ago at the Dover train show. The set includes the loco. with proto 1, and six Madison pass. cars. It has given great service to my townspeople. Yesterday , during routine maintenance I heard a "clunk" when I turned over the loco. When I removed the shell, this is what I found, a 4 oz. and a 3 oz . lead sinker taped and siliconed to the die-cast shell. Surprise, Surprise! Has anyone else found any strange objects, or missing objects on their locos? The stapler remover is there for size comparison.

So that's what they mean when they say 'Get the lead out....'

Lately I have found stinkbugs in just about everyplace - including between the rails after my train derails!

I'm sure it was added to improve pulling traction.
