hi all,

I find myself here with the same problem that others are reporting with HO loco and cars derailing in the switches. I am more then a little dissapointed given that I bought the "my first track" kit so as to avoid having to reinvent the wheel and would have a set I could rely on to have fun with my son with. Not the case, poor product.

I just ordered several sets of metal wheels for my cars as it seems this may help but I do not know yet. I made the other recommended changes with some improvement but 1/3 the time I still have the cars derail.

Has backmann replied to anyone's questions on this? Is there a solution or recall for the switches so I can get ones that work?

Thanks for the help,

ed
