I raised the platform once and lowered it. The second time I attempted to raise it, I found the plastic threads had been stripped. Lionel made such a stupid decision to save on the cost of materials by not making the mechanism out of metal.
I don't think the PW version was any different per se , but the crank would get stuck and the handle broke often. The loose fit may have been a (failed?) attempt to loosen things up or just a bad part. Metal railing was always my wish for these. My 16620 is fine and better than my two PW were.... except for the yellow.
