Ah - I reckon that you must have one of those extremly rare and much sought after versions with the plastic endcaps (the ones that melt very easily). As you can imagine, Fleischmann soon realised their mistake and put out a world-wide recall through all their agents and dealers. Most were returned but just the odd one may have escaped......
Look after the other end Chad!
