The only problem I had was that the containers would flip the entire 5 car set over due to the high center of gravity and sharp corners. The engine worked fine though.[/quote] they tipped over? well cars are so low to the ground i didn't think they'd tip over --i guess some weight in the bottom container(or in the bottom of the car) would help if they tipped over -- the most cars i have pulled on my layout was 27 and i had a few major derailments- i can only pull about 23 cars safely- now i only have 12 cars that i can even run (i've got some repair work to do)
