I have two 50 foot dual door boxcars from Pemco and they have truck-mounted couplers. They derail alot, especially when being pushed through the turnouts. I am using Bachmann E-Z track if that makes any difference. I also have two 51 foot cylindrical hopper cars from Model Power with truck-mounted couplers. They have the same problem, except not so extreme. All four cars have horn hook couplers. What are the reasons for them derailing? I've checked the track so I'm pretty sure the cars have problems. Thanks for your help.
