I use my touchiest locomotive to test track. Some locomotives like Athearn Blue Boxes operate well on less than perfect track work. Others, like Stewarts or Walthers Trainline, need near perfect trackwork. If these locomotives can handle forward/reverse facing both ways at a relatively high speed pulling some old Tyco cars with the coupler on the trucks then I've done my job. Most derails occur going into and out of turnouts. <br /> <br />Sometimes derails are not the fault of the track but the couplers.
