Let me share a funny story - I thought I was missing a piece!

tried several extenders and obviously I was unable to shove the axle through.
My conclusion was this: either my extenders were defective, or TLC forgot to

realized they put a 2L axle in first... So I wasn't missing any pieces after
all :)

But my Cargo Railway set (4559) was missing a black "1H Rod w/ End Hinge/Top
Stud" (the piece used as a stand for the little parcels, visit

it)
