Very seldom, and then it's usually a car on it's first run. Almost always the problem can be traced to wheels or couplers, and I have a few "bad actors" that always seem to cause problems, no matter how much I adjust and fiddle with them. But I've pretty much eliminated all of the track-related derailments....and just like the prototype, grade crossings are a major cause of things going off the track. Then there's always the occasional cat-caused wreck! But the one sure way to immediatley have a derailment is to leave the room[:D] [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by joeyegarner I think you should cut the trip pins off. Not complely but you should shorten them. I always cut them short and bend them up a little to keep them from giving me trouble [/quote][#ditto]That's exactly what I do...saves a lot of headaches.
