Determining exactly where its bent for sure is first! Holding something up against the axle to check for run out at the tip, and bushing area. No need to "measure" just eyeball it to look for the bend on the axle, or wheel boss. None there? It's in the spokes. Are the drivers(top) soldered too? I cant see it.
In a recent PW post, bending back cast Lionel's was the subject. "It cold flows" was the answer there. Slow light pressure, over days.
