N: Wheels of time SP gallery cars

Anyone out there have a string of these cars? I have four of them, and cannot keep them on the rails for the love of pete. They have Micro-Trains couplers.

I tried adding half an ounce of weight to the interior, 1/4 ounce right over each truck. Didn't improve the situation.

I don't have this problem with Con-Cor Superliners or any of the Athearn Bombardier commuter cars.

Anyone want to suggest anything? (Hah, BESIDES packing the string of czars up and mailing them to ya...)

Thanks...y'all have a great weekend.

No solution but I'll add that I've got the same problem with the cars. I like the looks but the operation leaves a lot to be desired. The cars were my first W-O-T purchase. Maybe my last...

I seem to recall someone saying that WOT advised to loosen the truck screws a bit because over-tightening could cause the couplers (truck-mounted) to deflect downward, which would cause the trip pins to foul on the turnouts.

Haven't had that problem....just that the cars like to derail where no cars have ever derailed before.
