I am new to this hobby. I am a long time modeler. I put together a L shape layout 7' by 3.5' and 8' by 3.5 on the run. I put my atlas 100 track on cork. everything is level and secure. I am having severe problems keeping my rolling stock on the track . I had to put so much weight in them that the engine ( a very inexpensive one for preliminary testing) sometimes slips . I took some of the weight out a little at a time and I got it. I went out and purchased a very nice 4-6-4 steam engine with sound and a tender , what a beautiful piece but the front four keep coming off of the track at the turnouts and sometimes on curves. at one point the darn thing fell off all together and fell to the floor . I am very frustrated and I dont kmow what to do. By the way I have 18 degree turns and this engine is for that setup. <br /> <br />Please help
