We have had ongoing problems with the camber of the track, ie the transverse slope of the track. Most of them don't cause any trouble at all but some do and its hard to get them exactly right wjen you don't have a straight eye and wear multi focal glasses. Many problems to do with derailments can be traced back to incorrect camber and or a few problems that include camber. It is hard to work it allout sometimes. I have a problem, no irregularity that is causing me no trouble at all, but it may as my layout develops. I am sure it is to do with using club rail whichis similar to "flexi track". I bend my own rails and thread sleppers (ties) on to them and there you have it. I have a 2m (8') straight stretch curving to the left and going straight into a 4 % gradient and the outer rail in the curve and just past the curve is lower than the inside rail, higher would be not satisfactory but better. I think the camber of the base leading up to the curve is causing some of the problem, but when I take the rail section out and lay it on a flat surface it has the problem but on a lesser scale, has anyone any idea of what would cause this. I have had this problem previously and was able to fix it with adjuating the ballast but not this time. Any ideas? If necessary i can supply a photo. Ian; Kawana etc. [?][^]
