I have recently purchased two 4-8-4 Northern type locomotives from Bachmann affiliates. Brand new. Problem is, the pilots will not stay on the track and keep forcing derailments. I have oiled the pathways where the pilots and trailers are attached, I have checked track alignment and whether it is level or not, with virtually no success. I was told to try additional weight on teh pilot trucks, but am at a loss as to what to use and how to secure it on the locomotives (SP GS-4 "War Baby" and NYC "Niagara". Would appreciate any suggestions from cyberland. <br /> <br />Thanks. <br /> <br />lawman@erie.net
