I have a couple of Kato Amtrak P42's and one Kato ALC-42 leads along with Viewliner 1, Viewliner 2 and Superliner cars. None of it will pass through a Kato EP150-45l / 20-240 turnout without at least one axle derailing. In addition, I have tried to use Kato R117-45 / 20-176 curves in my layout. They also derail while going through those curves. The longer 45 degree curves [i.e. R249-45V / 20-505] don't have that problem with Amtrak.
Are the Kato Amtrak pieces limited in the turn / turnout degree?
Will freight engines and rolling stock move through these pieces? I have a Bachman caboose that will go through both without issue.
If cars / leads are limited to the degrees of curves and turnouts they can navigate, where would I find that information?
Thank you!
