Darn Terry!!!, I'm starting to think that the Blacken-It may have caused the problems too!!! Could have in some way chemically broken down the insulation on one or more of the insulated wheels. <br />As for substitute wheels...You'll probably be able to find a set of tender trucks for that loco at a trainshow...there's always a bunch of parts for those old kits around. Same for the motor too...the Tyco and Mantua kits used the same open frame motor. It still bothers me that the loco runs ok in reverse...wish I had my hands on it...I'll keep thinking on that. Keep me posted if you want to at trainman@operamail.com Take Care and Have Fun!!...Vic
