Title: 4-4-0 Derailing?
Post by: jcater on June 26, 2008, 11:09:52 AM
Hi all,

My first attempt to post this appears to have failed, so here I go again.  I have been running the heck out of my 4-4-0 and it is great except for a particular problem.  When reversing over the frogs of a turnout the pilot truck always derails, no matter what speed the engine is at.  It does not do this moving forward, nor does this occur with my other engines.  I suspect the piloit truck is floating light on the rail.  What can be done to fix this problem?
Thanks,
John

What kindof track do you have, the probelm is the frog, it is big enough to throw your leading trucks off the rails. I  have had this problem with my 2-6-0. I just sanded the frog down a bit.
Rock On

Thanks Dusten, I figured it was something like that.  The track currently is Bachmann E-Z Track since we are working a "temporary" layout for the time being.
