I received my loco last week and while unpacking the tender, one axle fell out. Close exam of the two other axles show these being held in place by the axle wipers. I have not heard from Lionel Service yet about returning the entire loco, or even sending a new truck for me to install. Has anyone else rec'd these Hudsons with the same defect. I would try to repair myself, but the trucks are cast with little play and would be afraid to crack it.
