That looks absolutely brilliant Matt, great to see all the bits
coming together with such excellent results.

Thanks Sam, got the tenmille decal sheet and roof vents on the way for it. Need to add some weight to it as it seems to dislike corners at the moment.

Check the swing on the solebars!

I have clearance on the sole bars. That was my first thought. It is bouncing over the rail in 2 places on my line. Sure with some added weight from interior and a minor bit of ballasting in the guard end it should be fine.

Have you got compensation on your bogie

The bogies are fine mike. They have minor compensation but then again my line is not exactly forgiving for these large carriages lol

Humm, that was something I was going to suggest when I made them.

Very nice indeed, good to see these approaching completion

I guess worst case is I move house and build a more forgiving and prototypical line

You will fix it make more of the garden go ground level!

It's the 2'6" curves onto long straights that cause the derailments. Ideally I want to ease them all but mamod track is hard to ease lol

Thats why your coaches are struggling then

LnBmad · Post by **LnBmad** » Thu Sep 19, 2013 9:20 pm

Yeah, one of these days I'll adjust it out to 4' when the wife isn't looking and I have the spare track...
