I remember running my engines at a friends layout and had a problem with slowing down and some large radius steam engines derailing on curves. We found the problem to be when fastening the track down with nails the owner had pushed the nail too far down causing the ties to bend. This then caused the gauge to narrow causing the aforementioned problems. <br /> <br />Take the books advice and do not pu***he center track nails down too far! <br /> <br />Rick
