I once came across a thread that provide information on how to fine adjust Bachmann turnouts.

I lost the link, and can't find it again.

Can anybody show me the link or the information of how to do the turnout adjustment.

Your information is highly appreciated.

Hi Folks,

I am new to the forum, and would like to get advise from you experience guys.

I just bought a Bachmann 4-8-4 Southern, it ran great, but it failed to negotiate a #6 turnout. It ran straight without any problem but could not turn out to the siding. At slower speed, I noticed  that the first guide wheel was guided on the rail but the following guide wheel derailed. At higher speed, the whole loco came out of the track.

I have checked the wheels with the NMRA gauge and found that they all within the gauge. The same layout, basically a big oval with a parallel bypass, was ran by another Spectrum 2-10-2 without problem.

Please give me some advise as to what I should do to adjust the loco so that it can run through the turnout properly.

Thank you in advance for your advise.

Raymond
