derailment problems

Since the major problems didn't start until after the track was glued into place, survey the track making sure that each section is glued properly. ie. If the trackage is atlas code 80 flexitrack, each section is pretty long so you have to ensure that the glue is not only securing each or only one end of the track leaving the middle unstable. This will cause a see-saw effect as the train passes over and even though this might not be noticable when you look at it, in scale a train can/will be affected both with derailments and short circuit. <br />Richie
