Send the offending loco's back to Bachmann - after all if they are defective then Bachmann should sort out the problem (& in defence of B - if they don't know about a problem they cannot do anything about it). Maybe the screws are tightened far too much on original assembly, or as you say the plastic varies.
What you don't want to do is to forget the body/chassis are not secure, pick the loco up & the chassis falls out reducing itself to its component parts on contact with the floor...........
