I had the original series of these cars (from about 1962). The truck frames were riveted metal and didn't come apart and go back together. I did some awful thinks to the middle axle.
There may be a problem with the coupler mount hitting the steps.
Are the wheels in line? In the picture one axle looks offset.
Can you take the trucks off and run them by themselves?
I had problems with a British 6-wheel bogie -- didn't like Peco double slips.. When a new manufacturer took over the line they seem to have fixed it.
