General Discussion / newbie and derailments
February 02, 2017, 12:50:22 PM
I have Bachmann track pack of Madison central. it has 4 switches on layout. we have derailed in the switches quite a few times for only getting started. altho we do not have the electric to the swithes but does not appear that the switches vibrate open. one derailment was with 4 coal cars going thru switch into the siding and my best guess is in the frog of the switch it let the wheels come out.????? any ideas on my derailments.it does it with just engine on the main loop after a few times around also. thanks for any tips advice.

the track packs are cheaper than buying the pieces. around 130- 160. for them with kato the higher one.and they are manual switches and Bachmann and atlas are remote.bachmann has the same pack in steel for 100. nickel like 130ish.
