What are the NWSL geared wheelset stock numbers for the variations involved.  
The NWSL list I have says only before or after 2003, the set of I got a few 
months ago has flat interface surfaces, while the mating surfaces in the truck 
block are concave surfaces.

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.
