I think I found the real problem
Wheel seems to be wonky... any idea on how to fix this without risk of damaging it more ?

Re: Black label problem
That’s bad. How are the wheels attached to the axles, push fit or held with a nut of some type?
Nurse, the screens!
Re: Black label problem
I believe pushfit
I do not see some sort of screw on them

Re: Black label problem
Only thing I can suggest is to remove the connecting rods then place something flat against the wheels each end of the axle and apply gentle pressure with a small G clamp to straighten the wheels. I have done this with an old Mainline loco but not a very expensive Dapol one.

Re: Black label problem
Fixed the wheel issue runs fine now thanks for that however
When engaging the long whistle , the smoke generator for the whistle seems give up before it even starts
I think the heating element is on its way out , any ideas on what I can use to make my own one (what wire they use around the resistor)

Re: Black label problem
Took the wheel set of the locomotive
And with little pressure gently placed the middle of the wheel up against a small anvil with a cloth underneath it until the axel was in the centre of the wheel (if that makes sense )
