Nice to see that you stuck with it, Matt, until you solved the problem. 
For anyone needing axle wipers, Bachmann offers their Spectrum tender axle wipers as separate parts (Part No. H114X-MT032). These are made to fit the tender trucks of their locos, but could be modified to suit other situations, or, you could order the shouldered mounting screws to go with them (Part No. 10310) and the accompanying brass washers (Part No. H114X-MT054) . The wipers appear to be formed from phosphor bronze sheet, about .005" thick, and have good springiness.
