One word of Caution on there 14 1/2 in. Flatcars. I recently ordered their Long Flatcar (14 1/2 in.) w/ U.S. Coast Guard Helicopter. The first one I received, two of the wheels on one truck were out of round, and it "Wobbled" as it was run. In addition, the Car was not completely Flat. The ends slanted down. I sent it back for a replacement, which I received very promptly. Upon inspection it was worse than the First one. It "Wobbled" worse and was warped at both ends. I think there problem is a Long Deck on a "Plastic" frame doesn't cut it!!! I own their Rocket on that same Car and it is fine! Also I have one of their Long Flatcars with a Halftrack on it, and no problem. Don't know what s going on. I have returned the second car, but have not received a replacement yet. Anyone else have a problem with this 14 1/2 in. car ???

Fred: I too had this problem when they first came out. What I did was take out the two small screws on each end and sand off the flange that went in the flange hole. you can see it when you take the deck off. It was just a little off and made the car body bend in the way you talked about. just takes a minute to fix and the flat car is nice and straight again.. Bob
