Hello Bill,
Thank you for the quick response.  I do have the track assembled ok.  I have 4 other bachmann 4-6-0 sets that I currently run and have not problems with my other locomotives.  I guess I was hoping there would be a fix, but if I need to return the entire set back, I will.

THank you again.

I just received my train set today. I love this set. I am very sorry to say though that the locomotive does not take the curves on my track. It appears that it has wobblely wheels that make it difficult when going on the curves. It appears that the three main wheels are not lined up and the front and rear wobbel which make a grinding noise into the rails when going around curves slowing it down.  I really love this set and do not want to have to ship the entire set back. Seems like only a simple adjustment is needed to make it smooth.   It kind of jumps along when going around the curve, also slowing down, and the grinding noise against the rails.  Do you think this loco is defective and I need to send it back or is there something I can do to adjust it?
