The first thing you need to do is get an NMRA gauge, which should be available at your LHS (Local Hobby Shop). If you're using flex track, the joints between each section can be kinked (are you using rail joiners?) and you need to check each and every joint with the gauge. Next, you have to check all the wheels on your cars to see if they're in gauge. This includes the wheels on your engine. If the pilot wheels are unrailing on curves and at turnouts I would check the track first and then the engine's wheels. <br /> <br />You've got a lot of work ahead of you before everything is checked. After you've gauged the rails and wheels, get back to us and we'll tell you how to fix the problems.
