[quote user="mobilman44"]I don't recall you mentioning you were in an MR club. [/quote] It was in one of his other threads. [quote user="mobilman44"]Have some of the members looked at your problem loco? BLI typically makes high quality stuff, so perhaps it is the track.[/quote] I would ask them to take a look at it.  Does anyone else have a T1 they can run through the section of track in question?   What is the radius of the curve in question?  How was the transition accomplished? The T1 is a ridged frame model.  There is very little play in the locomotive drive train.   As far as I know there is not a way to make the front set of drivers articulate.  You might check to see if the pilot truck (the first set of 4) is tracking properly and is not picking the locomotive up slightly (I have seen this happen with other locomotives, but not necessarily the T1).  It is entirely possible that there is a track issue, especially if the track was not laid with long ridgid frame locomotives in mind.  I would not recommend hacking up your T1.
