Hello all.

Don, do your new wheels have the correct profile? As per railroad standards? flange depth, tyre taper, and most importantly a correct root radius? If the tyre has an incorrect profile it could cause it to bite into the rail and climb up it! The correct taper and root radius help steer the wheel back into the centre of the track. You may have already thought of all this, so apology in advance if im repeating anything or stating the known!

regards
Greg
