Check the wheelset gauge as well. I've found that a lot of 6-axle Athearn locos come with the wheelsets set slightly too wide - my problem was that they derailed at point frogs and tended to become "wedged" on short tight curves - like trying to carry a long board down a narrow corridor with a bend in it. I reset all wheel back to back gauges to 14.5mm using a micrometer, and they're now fine. I'm using Peco track . Hope this helps
