Noel's MSTS Conversion pack, ATSF Northern #2926 help

Hello,

Does anyone else have Noel's MSTS Conversion pack installed? If so, do any of you know what I have to tweek in the bin file/files for the ATSF 2926 to get it to stay on the track? The tender is fine, but the locomotive itself wants to bounce off of the track. I've tried it by itself and with other tenders, and it does the same thing. Also, I have tested the tender behind other locomotives, such as the G-TraX SP&S 700 and the Smokebox FEF-3, and it's fine. Only the locomotive has this problem. I did make sure that the ease of derailment was set to the normal 0.4375, and I have tried playing with that setting, but it makes no difference.

I know this is an old MSTS locomotive, but seeing as it's still a decent looking model and the only option if you want an ATSF 4-8-4, I'm hopping that one of you guys can help with this.

Thanks

I understand what's going on, because I have the exact same problem.

I tinkered with it for about 4 hours one day, and 3 hours the next, but I could not figure out what was causing it to derail.

If anyone here has an answer, please share so we can figure this out.

If I remember right, MSTS used something called a "bounding box" to set the collision points for the model. Now I know this model has been converted to work in Train Simulator, but could that have anything to do with it? Cause the locomotive acts like it's hitting the rails. That, or maybe the center of gravity is off.

Just a thought.
