A quick and simple remedy I’ve done to these cars, as I’ve run into this same problem on a few MTH cars....cut a small square from a piece of heat shrink (the large pieces yield a bunch of “insulators”. Wipe the inside of the pocket on the truck with a cotton swab and alcohol. Put a dab of 5 minute epoxy on the insulator and slide into place...press down on the insulator with the flat side of a screwdriver, or a a xacto knife...in 5 minutes you’re back in revenue service.....hope that helps..........Pat

Thanks, I'll try this!

Is it bent to one side?

No, when the truck rotates to one side, the roller tilts and makes contact with the truck. I disassembled the coach car and tried to see if I could finagle the roller spring, but no luck. It only happens when the coach turns one way and goes over switches. I think the above method will help tremendously!
