Derails On Radius
David asks readers for help and asks:
“I have an ho 4-6-4 with a tender that has 2 , 6 wheel trucks and a 2-10-2 engine with tender. Both are steam. For some reason they both keep falling off track. Is there anyway to adjust them to make them stop derailing? They are running on standard 9 inch rails and radius and they only derail on the turns. Both are bachmann. Can someone please help me?”

David,it sounds to me like your
radius is to tight for your loco.
It should have at least a 22 radius
to run on.
That would have been my advise too.
I had that problem until I got 42 curves. That’s o27 gauge though.
