My 4-8-2 did stall on Walthers code 83 turnouts, where there was any curvature at all leaing into the points end of the turnout. This caused the leading wheels to contact the stock rail and short causing jerking.. So I simply filed a bit off the stock raid (side near point) and bent the point rail inward a bit. and problem was solved. The track gauge indicated a slight out of gauge at this point before my "fix" - which seemed to be the way the turnouts came from factory. <br /> <br />ken
