Greetings all,
HO newbie here. I have a BLI 4-6-2 which does not operate well.
I have the Micro Engineering Code 70 yard ladder system with #5 TOs. The loco:
1) Does not like the unpowered frogs - - - That I will fix whern I automate with TO motors.
2) derails a lot. Especially in reverse. It seems as though the tender may be too light as it almost always cants/leans/lists over in reverse and the misses the frog.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this. Pictures and "how-tos" much appreciated. I like the loco and do want to run steamers, but at this point, I'm about ready to sell the thing and get 40s era diesels. I have two now with 4 wheel trucks (a Bowser and a Walthers) and they run great through the ladders.
Thanks in advance.
