Purchased a loco (81495) and attempted to run it on my track. It runs great on straight track, but when it rounds a curve it binds and stops. Upon further examination, I noticed that unlike all of my other locos, this one had two downward facing pins inside the middle drive wheels which ride inside of both track rails. I believe these pins are causing the binding and therefore stopping the loco. I also believe, according to the brochure, that these have something to do with the loco's conductivity. Does anyone know how I can remedy this situation? Thank you.

Can anyone tell me if I can exchange the top of a Denver & Rio Grande Full Baggage Car with the top of a Virginia & Truckee Observation Car (to make a VT Full Baggage car) without damage to either? I do not want to attempt this if the parts are glued or set in place to stay. I believe this can be done, but would like the advice from someone with the knowledge and experience. Thank you!

Can anyone tell me the correct part (item) number (780XX) for use on the Kinkade Christmas Express On30 Train cars? I believe it is one of these as it has a metal coil spring. Thank you!
