Hi folks,
I recently acquired a BLI N&W Class A DCC + sound locomotive. Only one problem - the tender derails when going around a curve
in reverse, with no load/cars. The radius is 33.5".
I think the problem is with the six wires that connect the loco and tender, coupled with the tender pin connected to the second hole in the drawbar. I did that to close up the gap between the tender and loco.
I suspect either the drawbar is either interfering with the leading truck pickup, or the wires are forcing the tender off of the track.
So, I am curious if any readers have encountered the issue, and what they did to resolve it.
Thanks, Bruce
