I noticed when I got some of the black train-packs which included the
wagon plate, that the way they are packaged encourages warpage. You
have one large flat plate plus a selection of lumpy things (tm) in a
bag, not a box, and of course if you pile a load of them in a big box
the plates are going to be bent and stressed by the weight above them.
Seems like problem waiting to happen to me.
