Most of my derailments are operator error. (mine) I have one turnout that none of my engines like entering in one direction, but go thru it fine in the other, so for now, I just avoid going the "wrong" way until I replace the turnout and repair the joined track. (It's on a reversing section, so I can back thru just fine.) <br /> <br />Otherwise, it's the typical improper coupler "hose" height or pulling too long and light of a train. Yes, I know, all my cars should be the right weight, but this is one of the items that I haven't tackled as yet.
