Rick ,thats happened to me a few times when i pulled 25+ cars if you are careful about which cars are near the engine it works better- shortest cars (40' or less) near the back of the train- long cars (more than 55') near the middle and it helps if the first car has more than the recommended weight so it stays on the track better-- w/ a 12' x4' layout a 25 car train is as long as it gets- if all the cars had free rolling wheels the train could be longer - what causes the cars to tip to the inside is when there is a heavy load behing them- aka. lots of cars
