Long trains on R1 curves do tend to derail. My fix was to progressively wieght the cars. Heavy right behind the loco to light as you go back. Also, make sure your heavier cars are closest to the loco, i.e. passenger coaches and boxcars right behind the loco. Gond's and flat at the back end. <br />An idler car is usually a flat car or gondola. It is used where you don't want the loco to be on that section of track because of weight. Like loading cars on a rail barge. It is put between the loco and the car or cars that you want to spot. The loco is so heavy that it would list the barge too much if it rolled onto the barge or crush, or damage, the ramp.
