You people will hear a fair bit from me about track problems at the moment I am really working my layout up to a high standard of performance for two reasons. 1/ It deteriorated a lot while I was overseas for three months and it was not being used. 2/ I am hosting a running day here for our local people 12 th November and for the entire main Australian club from Sydney on Labour day weekend in June. Ever since i put it in i have had an odd problem in this tunnel that comes and goes, in that only my Stainz gets caught in the middle. However more recently my Crocodile gets derailed going from right to left. And my new Sachsen gets derailed going in the opposite direction. These things don't happen all the time but too often for comfort. The tunnel consists of a 225 mm storm water plastic pipe, it is this size to suit a standard Jigstones tunnel portal that i have at each end. I have gleaned that the pipe is catching the underside of the loco and stopping them from making contact properly. Also causing them to lift in motion causing the derailing. Has anyone any ideas why this is so and why it is different depending on direction of travel. (Even the Stainz goes through better one way or the other). Any advice regards Ian
