Bachmann Berkshire

Unread post by JBaxter »

I recently got a Bachmann Berkshire and got it running on my layout. However I noticed that it seems to like to pick switches with the pilot truck occasionally. I was wondering if anyone had suggestion on how to avoid this, and how to avoid derailments in the future. Thanks in advance!

Is the troublesome truck sprung, As in, a spring pushing the truck down "into" the rails so to speak? Sounds like not enough downward pressure is being applied, try either adding a spring if none exists or a stronger one if there is one already.
