OO Bachmann Class 66 Derailment
Wayne is hoping for some assistance from others in the hobby and asks:
“I recently bought a Bachmann DCC Class 66 and it seems to derail at any opportunity even on a straight run. I have Googled it and found it to be a common problem but cant find any solutions. Has anyone has same problem or know the solution? Thank you.”

one of my many 66’s started hopping off on left hand corners, I read the instructions and gently unscrewed an prised off the top body shell, inside you will notice a screw above each bogie, undo screw and on the other side I added a 1mm cutting of a bicycles gear cable end cap, took a little to line time to line it up,made sure the drive couplers where inserted correct,rescrewed them back up, an hey presto it runs fine,, they derail because the sit very low to their bogies any deviation in track cause the wheels to clip underside of body, I also gently pulled bogie ladders off an reglued them lower on the bogie..
Have same problem with class 66 Stobart Rail,will try this with some washers maybe and get back to you.Bluff
