Boxcar Derailing

If you can't send it back and the trucks are screwed into the frame perhaps new better quality trucks????

Are the wheels wobbling on the axles so much that they are derailing the car?

If you use a wicking thread locker, how will you keep it from wicking all the way into the journals at the ends of the axles?

You might consider removing the wheel/axle from the truck before securing the wheels to the axles.

I will consider that replacing the trucks.  The current trucks are die cast, non-sprung and have the tab style uncoupling design, not the thumb tack.

Yes, the wheels are wobbling a lot.

The wicking compound would most likely cause a problem.  I could also use a retaining compound which is thicker, but it would be a good idea to removing the wheels/axles from the truck.
