I just received the two latest Lionel conventional GG-1s (6-38234, 6-38235) from the Lionel 2012 Vol 1 catalog.   Both of them wobble terribly when moving down the track.  It happens whether they are run slowly or quickly.  It fact they wobble so badly that the constantly derail on O-31 Realtrak, both straights and curves.  I included a video.  Does anyone else have these engines and if so do they exhibit the same behavior?  I thought I’d check the forum’s experiences before I call Lionel.   And I will be calling Lionel because as it stands these engines can’t be run at all.   

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Oh, and please forgive the primitive layout!   I tore down my RealTrax layout and one of these days I’ll get started on the Scaletrax I bought.
