I've seen those before.  They are not helpful nor fully descriptive.  What I would like to see is a photograph of the underside of the assembled engine showing how far down those wipers actually project on the drivers.

My mountain engine wipers snagged here and there at first but a little field shaping fixed them.  Downward exposed wipers is actually good maintenance wise, easy to clean, but these appear to be a little too long, 

In comparison to a clock.. roughly around the 25 and 35 minute mark.

HO / Wiper fix for 4-6-2

The wipers on these rest in the flange way and get bent up on switches. I've straightened them 3 times now, the last working for 45 seconds before again shorting out on every switch. This appears to be a flawed design. Has Bachmann issued an upgraded part for this, or does anyone have a suggestion as to how to remedy this? I looked at possibly flipping them over by switching sides, but they are notched for the gear, so that is not an option.

Any he!p would be appreciated
