Hello all,

This is my first post on this board.  I am an aeromodeler for years and I am getting back into trains with my son.  I'm not shy to get "nutsy boltsy" with things, that's part of the fun.  At this point, we are starting out and want things to run right.

Question:  We just got a Spectrum 2-8-0.  The wheels take our 18" and 15" turns just fine.  However, the solid wires connecting the tender to the loco add force in the turns that causes the front wheels of the tender to derail. 

I have an idea on how to fix this, but I wanted to throw it out there to see what y'all active folks would do.  Any ideas???  Any tricks???

Thanks in advance,

Capt Steve
