My NYC version arrived with the two front ladders broken off. Lionel wants it returned to install a new pilot assembly. I could do it myself, but they don't seem interested in sending the part along to me, despite the documentation I sent them, showing the damage.
Otherwise, the engine seems to be a good runner. Tons of smoke and the whistle smoke is extraordinary!
I repaired the pilot myself, but plan on getting a new one when the part comes available. The epoxy repair looks fine, but the strength of a soldered joint isn't there...

I actually had to send my CNJ in to fix my whistle smoke and the 2 ladders broke on the way back from Lionel.

I just got the replacement pilot, but haven't had a chance to replace it yet. I was just wondering if you had replaced it yet and how much of a pain was it? Just tryin to gauge how much annoyance I am going to get into on my next day off. lol.
