Just received 2 of these cars in a Chuck pack.  Really nice.  Bryan, no problems with coupler pins.  However,  both cars had wheels loose and one had a wheel missing. Also receive one gons (PC) which had a deformed  truck pin.  Easy fix on my end and this is not a complaint.  Wanted to let you know that whoever is assembling these cars needs to do a little QC.

Bob, sorry about the missing wheelset.  I have extras if you need one.  The new "standard-profile" wheelsets to appear to fit more loosely in the MTL truckframes than the previous "low-profile" and "high-profile" wheelsets.

I also have extra G26 truck pins.

I'll pass along your observations in regard to assembly modifications required for the next two batches.
