I have three major problems for which the manufacturers were of absolutely no help at all and I am hoping someone reading this can be. I have a fairly large layout, recently upgraded to 22" radius curves. I am not a fan of DCC, so everything I own is analog. The main probelms I have, all relating to locomotives, are as follows: 1. My Athearn Dash 9 BNSF locomotive (with six wheel trucks) will not negotiate a curve without derailing the rear trucks. All of my curves are banked and I also run Rivarossi E-8's, also with six wheel trucks, without any problems. Any siggeations? 2. Similar to number one, I have a beautiful Bachmann (I know-not too many Bachmann fans out there but this one is really nice) Niagara 4-8-4. It will run the rails perfectly until I put the tender on it. Then, either the pilot or trailing trucks will jump the rails everytime it enters a curve-anywhere. I have tried adding weights to the trucks, but this doesn't help. This was also the reason I upgraded from 18 to 22 inch radius curves. Any help will be appreciated.
