Hi All
I bought a Bachmann 4-8-4 in America whils't on holiday there.I was assured that it was capable of running ok on 3rd radius track.On testing it would not clear the first curve so I decided to put in another circuit of 4th radius.It clears the curves in reverse but going forwards the first of the 4 driving wheels comes off the track after 3 inches of the curve,and then then the front bogie also derails.Have I got a bad one or does it need an even bigger radius.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Kevin
