Reply to "Lionel 6-84271 Baltimore & Ohio GP9 #3419 Gears do not line up properly. Is there a fix that does not invlove Lionel Service Dept?"

My third Santa Fe SD40 arrived, the second #5006, and it has an unusual gear star showing on the back on a non gear wheel.  I think the factory put the wheel on the wrong end of the axle, the one meant for the gear and wheel.  The Gripping star is on right of axle, opposite the gear.  The wheel appears to be on all the way.

Does anyone know for sure?  This engine runs nicely, but I am concerned about the future issues because the star grip goes into the truck block.  I am so disenchanted with Lionel.

Sincerely, John Rowlen
