Just got a new Heisler. Works well. Do have a problem though in that the locomotive has a pronounced lean to the right. It does not sit in a balanced position, but has a definite lean to the right. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and any suggestions as how to correct the problem would be appreciated. Thanks
I have had a few Heislers but never a leaning one, sounds like the prroblem could be caused by badly fitting bogie or bogies ( sorry TRUCKS!!)
It may be advisable to return it for a replacement
Hey CanPac
The Heisler's trucks snap on and off. Centre the questionable truck evenly over the loco (you are holding it upside down, now, aren't you :-) ) and apply even pressure downward to ensure it is snapped into position.

To Wales and Australia I say Thank You. Will check out your suggestions. Hoping to avoid the return to Bachmann.
Hey we are certainly shrinking the World here!!
Let us know if iit works out OK
Thanks guys for shrinking the world, but after trying several other things and it has improved a little, I don't want to try and take the trucks off this locomotive as the gears are attached. Don't want to go there. Again thanks for the suggestions.
