Wobbly Wheels.
Almost a year ago to the day, I posted on my Latton Fields thread how I had managed to run my Bachmann J11 off the end of the board onto the garage floor, as I'd left the hinged section I had at the time lifted, and stupidly didn't have isolating sections leading to it.Apart from one set of broken cab steps I didn't think there was any damage and since the layout then went more diesel and electric loco powered, the J11 has sat in it's box for most of this time.
Since I was going to video a few trains going over the new bridge, and thought it would be nice to have various trains for different eras, I got the J11 out of it's box yesterday and did a test run.
Thought it was odd that it shorted when running only forwards through a 'Y' point and also de-railed and the re-railed as it went through a crossover, again only forwards.
Assumed the back to backs must be out on the driving wheels after it's tumble last year, so got the loco cradle out to have a look.

Not a very good video, bit out of focus, but clearly there's a bit more damage than I thought.
I've had a look around for spare driving wheels (310-117) but there doesn't seem to be any available.
I've also emailed Bachmann's service department but they don't work week-ends and may not reply until late next week.
So, does anyone know where I might get a set of driving wheels for a Bachmann J11?
