4-8-4

[Steamer#1]

My son's 4-8-4 fell off the table and the 8 drive wheels came apart, how do you get them lined up right so that it works and runs without locking up the wheels.

Need a little more information.  Did the wheels just come out of the frame, or did they separate from the axles?  The former issue may be repairable.  If the latter, you probably just ought to buy a replacement loco.

the wheels can off the frame, but I have put them back on, the only problem is the drive bars from wheel to wheel are not lined up right and I do not know how they should be so that it will work.

Carefully examine the exploded view diagram that can with the locomotive.

Suspect more damage has been done to the locomotive that quartering the wheels will not fix.

I looked at the info sheet for the engine but it shows them all in the middle and only one side

Steamer#1, you have to combine the wheels info from the exploded view diagram sheet with the information in the article about "quartering" the wheels I gave you.  If this is beyond your mechanical aptitude, contact Bachmann Service for your options.
