Well, actually my Legacy k4 had the intermediate shaft walking out of the side of the chassis after lap around my layout right out of the box. I sent it to Lionel for warranty repair, and a few years later started noticing the excessive wear on the shaft bushing.
Its a shame. I really liked that loco.
