Gtrax Steam Locomotives Derail Randomly

I have all three sets of these loco's The Berks, Northerns, and GS-4's. But for some reason when I go thorugh switches backwards the derail, and when I go through turns the engines lean.

Does anyone know a solution to this?


Thanks Much!

Matt

Do you know about editing bin files?

I have this problem on the NERW route. Rick Grout and I talked for a few weeks about things and it ended up a lot of my turn outs were too tight for the large steam engines G-Trax makes. I do not believe editing the bin files will help it is the models.

Even after going through switches of large size the still manage to derail. I have many routes and they seem to derail. *!embar*!

It helps a lot (does not totally solve the problem) if you change this to this.

<EaseOfDerailment d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="0000000000000000" d:precision="string">0</EaseOfDerailment>

I used to get derailment coming out of the switch at Greenbrier. This fixed that.
