Last spring I purchased a pair of SD60 demonstrator schemes at a model RR show. One of the units didn't run very well. When I took it apart one of the axles had a cracked gear. It didn't matter so much because I had to replace the wheels anyway because they were highrail. Rather than order from AM and get .125 code wheels I decided to order from NWSL.
Still I wondered whether this was a one-off problem or something more systemic. I've had issues with AM universal joint sockets cracking on the motor and other shafts in the power train.
