Thanks for the how too. Learned the hard way to repair these. After waiting 4 months to get 2 new units back from athearn for loose truck wires. I did a video a few months ago on replacing scale trains trucks and wheelsets. !👍

I'll never send anything back just because of that 4 month wait

Nice how to video. I have a couple old Genesis engines from old days and was contemplating whether to keep, after seeing this I think I'll clean them and weather them and use now. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, could you give me any idea how to give a SD 40 more side to side motion other than filing the main fram

I'm sorry it took so long to answer you I'm not 100% sure what your asking. If you're referring to the side to side swing of a loco then i don't know if i can help but will be happy to try

I think so.

I have several Genesis locomotives and the trucks are warped.

@@pieseasmyseas I just keep them on a shelf I more so run Scale Trains locomotives .

I bought 2 BNSF models of these a number of years ago,...both new ones. Only a couple of days ago I got them out to test on my new layout. They both derailed EXCESSIVELY,....on brand new engines from Genesis !! If I can't get satisfaction from Athearn, I may have to never buy another of their product,...defective design. Is there a possibility another truck product could be substituted??

It's most likely your rails. 10 to 1 yo7 have only been running 2 axel trains and your having problems with 3 axel trains.

@@usacitizen1000 well I thought the same thing for a long time. It could be a cut lever on a Kaydee cuppler it could be a lot of things but I will still say track work. I wasn't shur until I started taking slow motion footage and watching the derails that I realized that some trains have more up and down movement in the wheels and some have more of a flange on the wheel. A 2 mm flange in 1:87 translates to 1.5 inches when scaled up so if your train wheel move more than the flange height, I would be the same as if a real train jumped the rail at 2 inches.

What a nightmare.

Yes.A bit more involved than Athearn RTR/bluebox, but all Kato ,Atlas, Proto, Genesis, have exactly the same style,but once you understand how they disassemble, they become easy enough.
