OO Gauge Hornby Flying Scotsman Wheelset
Gary asks readers for advice:
I have a Hornby tender drive Flying Scotsman. The problem is that the 8 wheel tender derails regularly. Never the same position on the track, it appears random. It goes through points with no problem then derails on the curve or even on the straight. The affected wheelset is the last one. It derails when running light engine and when hauling coaches. I have checked the wheel back to back dimensions and they seem OK. Before I throw it as far as I can, does anyone have a solution?

I’m new to this, just starting my new hobby, but on reading ALOT of literature was thinking, have you checked that it is weighted correctly, or that the weights that are there haven’t shifted to cause an imbalance??
