Follow up question, i noticed circular cutouts in the axle wells that seem to match the spring-mounted axles supports i remember seeing in my russian 2-10-0 when i fixed it last. Is this model supposed to have those? as you can see in the picture, they are not present, and the parts diagram doesnt explode the lower assembly. basically, did this run ommit them or are they missing. i'm baically trying to find out if this model has been opened before because depsite looking like new, i cant figure out how the axle would have gotten twisted.
it runs fine so if hte part IS supposed to be there, its still running fine, just curious
