CSX Dash 9 coming off track ......

[trainmannick83]

Im using the standard sized curves of Bachmann EZ track on my layout and the rear wheels and every now and then the front wheels will come OFF the track !!! Yet it runs GREAT on the straights ... Is there anything that I can do to rectify this problem ASAP ???????

If your curves are 18" radius, that is why it is derailing. If they are 22", doubtful for bachmann, the outer rail could be elevated outward.

Oh ok well I wonder if they make 22 inch radius EZ track ??????
