Gentlemen; <br /> <br />What a breath of fresh air; after reading all that rubbish from the Coffee Shop boys, thanks for your input. <br /> <br />Don't forget i got the tender for Christmas last year and this combination has been working quite well up to about a week or so ago. <br /> <br />I like to run it at speed 8, it suits many other things, but at speed 7 it doesn't seem to do it much at all and at 9 it is very unstable. <br /> <br />I have read what everyone has said and there have been some good thoughts, so i will tell you a bit more; that is even more puzzeling. <br /> <br />1/ It doesnt like right hand bends or too many of them. My area 2 which is a circle; you can run it around anticlockwise as much as you like with very little trouble. But clockwise it doesn't like, all right bends. <br /> <br />2/ My area 3 which is a complex figure 8 it also handles ok, but not as good as the anti clockwise run where it is doing left hand bends alll the time just about. <br />. <br />3/ The tender seems to be right up the Stainz' bum all the time as i observe it going around, instead of sometimes in tension and sometimes pushing as it should be. <br /> <br />4/ Whenever it derails the front of the Stainz is off the track pointing to the left of the track and the tender is off the track pointing to the right whicjh looks like a jackknife to me. <br /> <br />HJ what affect do you think back EMF would have on this problem? <br /> <br />I am having a time soon when i will be doing some MTS (Multi Train System) programming and i think if I crank the Stainz up a bit or drop the tender back this should help a bit, what does everyone think? Please advise. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
