Just picked up an Athearn bluebox SD38-2 from a guy on eBay. Has a decoder installed in it and the guy installed ditch lights, but set one of the lamps to fn2, which on my zephyr is a momentary contact function, not latching. I think I can change that... but that's not my question/problem for this topic... Sorry to run off on a tangent like that. <br /> <br />The loco, if run "forward", will derail in a couple of spots on my layout where my radii get a wee bit tighter than 18", like 17.5" or so... Yes, I have much improvement to make in my track laying skills... Anyway, if I take the same loco and physically turn it around and run it in reverse, it won't derail. <br /> <br />Any ideas why this is the way it is?
