QUOTE: Originally posted by loathar Even though I went out and bought a coupler gauge. Took a day and went through all my cars and locos and set everything. Works fine for a day or two and then it seems like the couplers start sagging and causing problems. KD and McHenry. I'm almost ready to cut those friggin trip pins off! I'm not going to use uncouplers or run my stuff on club layouts. Any thoughts?

QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse I have a few derailments. Almost always though, it is because the EZ Track turnout doesn't completely open against the rail .... I'm realtively sure that something has gotten under the throw bar and is creating friction.
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

QUOTE: Originally posted by Davidvd59 Usually now my derailments come from a switch I forgot to throw back, but when I was using the bachmann EZ track I had them continually, I am shocked how track I hand laid works better, I think I didn't do the best job hand laying it either and I still have better results over the ez track!

QUOTE: Originally posted by joeyegarner I think you should cut the trip pins off. Not complely but you should shorten them. I always cut them short and bend them up a little to keep them from giving me trouble
