I have a mantua 2-6-2 and it keeps picking the switch on my brothers ho scale layout every couple of times around the switch is thrown for the way the locomotive is going how can i fix that issue thankyou.
First thing I would check is the gauge of the wheels. Is it picking the points or the frog? Picking the points is often a too wide situation, while picking the frog is often a too narrow situation because the guard rail is pulling it too far to one side.I have a mantua 2-6-2 and it keeps picking the switch on my brothers ho scale layout every couple of times around the switch is thrown for the way the locomotive is going how can i fix that issue thankyou.
