I had a similar problem, derailing on Mamod points. I found though that it was the meths burner that was too low and catching on a rail.

Thanks, Matt, but I want to avoid cutting full lengths, the stuff's expensive enough as it is!

My terminus has produced a short section of track which doesn't join up. You'll get the idea from the pictures. (It reminds me of happy days with Hornby 3 Rail).

I would love to know how to get hold of a tender apron, as I can't get my 'driver' on the left side of the cab owing to the servo (which operates the steam regulator) being in the way. I also found that som...
