Hi Rob
In my experience, the wheel sets on Athearn coaches are often out of gauge. If they are the insulated type, it is almost impossible to correct since onw wheel is fixed in place while the insulated one will slide. That means the "correction" will end up skewing the whole truck. But you said that you have tried swapping the wheelsets.
So all that to sat what was suggested above. If the weight works - you have your solution.
