We have the Athearn Genesis 33,900 LPG Tank Cars. These cars are highly detailed and very beautiful. However, as with many Athearn products, the little plastic weight retainer INSIDE the tank car can come loose in shipment (doesn't appear to affect the stability of the weight). Doesn't affect every car. There is nothing to be done to fix it to my knowledge. The only way to know if this has happened is to tip the car up on it's end and hear the little plastic piece move inside the tank. It's possible a perfect car may leave my shop and arrive with the little piece detached in the tank. Outward appearances and running characteristics are UNAFFECTED by this little annoyance. Please understand the risk of a car arriving in this condition. You accept that as a condition of purchase. We will not accept returns if the car arrives in that condition. As I said, it's never an issue once the car hits the rails. Just want to offer that disclosure. These cars are too nice to return to Athearn and they are sold out of them, so replacements are not available, and most hobbyists will not notice the issue with the car on the rail. But if it's going to be a problem for you, please don't buy one. Thanks, Dave
