Er, most the athearn "kit" boxcars I have came with plastic wheels??? Minor pitting on new wheels, are you sure they are new? I never seen such a wheel problem on the cars I have, but back to your problem. I bet you soldered the inside of the track. Only solder on the outsides and use lots of flux and very little solder. The side to side motion is the wheels hitting an object (protusion), prob the flanges bottoming out and lifting due to solder. If that's the case get some braid and desolder the insides. FRED. .
