Last year at Brickfest '05, Christina and I bought ourselves a complete set of
the Santa Fe Super Chief (1 engine, 5 cars). I've been hearing about the
problems people have been having with the wheel sets, but it's been so long
since the error was discovered (and the offer to fix it) I'm wondering if I'm
going to have to do some modifications to my set.
So... was there indeed a production problem with the Super Chief wheels?
If so, what was it? Does this problem effect the Super Chief rolling stock?
If not, what was the problem that slowed the train down?
Was it ever fixed on the production line? If so, about when in the production
schedule was it fixed? (i.e. all sets made after a certain date)
Does LEGO still offer replacement wheel sets?
Will they be new grey?
If no help from LEGO is available, is there a way to fix the wheels? I've heard
one can 'shave' some of the plastic off the wheels to make them clear the track
better, what is the process for this?
Thanks for the help!
