Bachmann steam front truck wheel wobbles...

Group:
Without exception, under close scrutiny, every Bachmann stream front truck wheels seem to have some sort of wobble. From my connies to mountains to the EM-1s, all of them first wobble, and second don't like as good as they should. Has anyone replaced the front truck wheels of these (connie, light and heavy mountain, EM-1) engines? Also have similar issues with the trailing truck wheels...

Kind regards,
Bill

I have a 2-8-0 and two 4-6-0s, and have never noticed any wobble in the leading/trailing trucks... now I am going to be looking for it.

NDave:
Have to look closely. Seriously. Some of mine are also slightly out of round.

Kind regards,
