Thanks for the explanation

As a noob, I have to ask why regauge, and how? Any videos that describe the process? Just curious Thanks

I tried swapping bogies, but seem to be mostly the leading bogie when coming to the end of the curves. So I went ahead and snipped part of the brake pipe around the bogie, and it seems to have solved the issue.... But will test more tomorrow. It does derail occasionally at point, but I don't mind that as it is an old Lima one which I will swap out.. Anyway more testing tomorrow Glass table is a great idea, unfortunately I don't have one

It was in place, but I lifted it out when pushing the paper in... I'll play around with it first then maybe cut it out on one carriage. There are really well finished, and hall effect switch for lights is neat. But at the end of the day I do want it to work on my track. My track is mixed, so not perfect but never been a problem up until now. I get it alright with the pizza cutter wheels alright

I put paper underneath so it is easier to see, there is two of them

Actually I think I found one possible problem, I took off the bogey and underneath there are 2 plastic strands, not sure what they represent, but I am pretty 6they are catching the bogey.... Might cut it to see

I had it upside down just to make video, but happens right side up too. When bogie is turning, it catches the coupling, pushing it out to the left or right... By design I thought. Except that it offers too much resistance and derails. The wheel rim(not sure it's proper name) is only about 0.5mm so easily slides of the rail track does your bogie not push the coupling?

Looks great. No problems on curves?

The carriage at the bottom of the video above is an old Lima which shows how much the bogey can swivel

I tried my other one, same issue.... On the curves the bogey is hitting the back of the coupling VID_20260611_154330.mp4

I have another one, haven't opened it yet.... Will try it tomorrow and report back.

Just got my Park Royal D.176 Suburban No. 1400TL, looks absolutely lovely but, it derails very easily, haven't had time to examine in detail yet, but when the bogey is turning the coupling is getting caught. It's a 2nd radius curve. All my others work OK. Maybe I need longer couplings, but I have a problem on a straight where it also derails, yet I can't see anything wrong Anybody else having this issue
