Gentlemen and Rene. I have reintroduced this topic as I have made some progress with this problem. Also I have spoken to Brian and he could not understand what my problem was, so if he can't I wouod guess that many others couldn't either. I f you read what i had to say to John about using flextrak you may get a better idea. What i have down is to drill a small hole in inside side of several of sleepers (ties) and to pull them down hard as I could into the ballast using long bobby pins (ladies hair pins)and left them like that for several weeks. Then I came along and elevated the oputside of said sleepers and the problem is largely fixed, not entirely so but good enough I hope. Why this must be fixed, is that as rolling stock comes along a long straight at speed and as it hits a bend it tends to try to keep going. As it goes around the bend if the camber is wrong it tends to lean out and will derail easily and the bigger they are the easier they fall, particularly high passenger carriages. Any comments please.
