I have a unique problem, whereby only one of my locomotives gets derailed in exactly the same spot regualrly. <br /> <br />Both the spot and the loco ar unique in that it is a curve of about 220 degrees and the loco is an LGB Stainze running in conjunction with a powered LGB tender under MTS control. It only does it when running in a clockwise direction never the other way! <br /> <br />1/ I have really looked at the camber and this has helped a lot, the track now is a perfectly laid as I can get it. <br /> <br />2/ the Stainz had it driving rods out of phase and not working properly I got this right which also helped. <br /> <br />3/ As you know you have a special connection bwteen the loco and th tender and this was sticking to one side, this is now ok but I have had one derailment after about three hours of running. It seems to be a bit worse when the temperature get sover 35 deg and the humidity over 90 %. <br /> <br />Does anyone have any ideas? <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian <br /> <br />PS This is what i regard as a reasonable subject about actually running a garden railway; a problem has occured and people with experience may be able to comment! Or even those with little or no experience can ask questions and learn something about this hobby.
