A daunting task. S turns can bring trouble. The new plan looks like it will run much more smoothly. You are brave cutting in and changing your track path at this stage. Best of luck with it. Rob

Hi, Kevin. I have found 2 problems with goods wagons & R2 curves. 1) The wagons are very light and 2) If they are continually going around the curves in the same direction the wheels tend to get out of alignment especially on wagons with plastic axles. MY "fix" is to reset the wheels back-back measurements using a 14.5mm wheel gauge then check their running OK. If all is well I then apply some super glue to the back of the wheels/axles to stop them from moving out of gauge again. I don't tend to have any problems with coaches. Finally DO always check new wagons wheels/axles are set correctly as I have had quite a few Bachmann, Heljan, Dapol etc with plastic axles which do not have the wheels set correctly. You have found a good solution to the problems you had as R2 curves are, if possible, best avoided. :-)

Hi Kevin, It does seem a shame that the view of those three tunnels will be obscured now but I am with you all the way when it comes to reliable running. Regular derailments are a real motivation killer. Now looking forward to what you come up with for the viaduct scene and what becomes of the old track bed. ...........................John

Topical video for me Kevin, I am currently halfway through re-laying the curve on my layout to change it from 32" radius to 36" radius. Been having trouble with some of my larger steam locos de-railing on the tighter curvature, hopefully this will cure it.

Not unlike a real railway where realignment occurs. I recently constructed a realignment on my layout to eliminate a 2nd radius curve, but I partially kept the old alignment as a decommissioned/abandoned line. It might be quite interesting to do something similar on your old alignment if you were wondering what to do with the space.

Looks a Great Layout, however I would recommend using Felix Track, as the curves look a bit to sharp and I have also had problems, with Set Track with My Bachmann Class 66s keep on derailing, the best bet of cause with Felix Track is you just bend it to whatever radius you like, and the Engines and stock seem to run better on Peco Felix Track then they do on lets say set track, I can only say from My Experience with Model Railways, and yes its your layout on this channel so build it however you like, but I would recommend using Felix Track, and if this was My layout I would most Deffo be using Felix Track, and I also model in 009 NG which is also Narrow Gauge Peco Felix Track, but that is another story for another day

Hi Kevin, nice update, and a much better line for the track, which should improve train running a lot. I'm curious to ask if all your track is Setrack or flexitrack, I'm guessing Peco, but could be Hornby too I guess. Flexible would give you a beautiful track alignment round that curve. Anyway great video and I love the layout, best regards Dave.

Well done Kevin. What will you do with the old track dogleg area? The Rev W Awdry was right about 'troublesome trucks' wasn't he? I've enough trouble with plastic wheels and I'm swapping then out for metals. Some don't like be coupled at both ends. Some have problematic couplings........ all part of tbe hobby I suppose?
