Since this is a design introduced with Legacy engines, I have not read/heard of any other legacy engines having this problem. Could it be that only the K4s had an issue with too much slop in the gears? I would think if the slop issue was that bad and prolific , there would be reports of problems with other locs. It would be great if Lionel could confirm they fixed the slop issue. Simple spacers in the gear box could solve this issue during manufacturing. @Dave Olson

It may very well be only this particular model exhibits the issues in more than low numbers, ……I believe John has fixed a few with new chassis, but only time will tell if they fail,….as far as other models, I believe Rick O has shown us his H10 with gear box issues……we do not know if this is going to be a chronic issue or not,….
