Handiwork which has gone wrong...
« on: October 04, 2011, 12:14:04 »
Hi Folks,

I planned to build a camera car for my trains.
I found an old ugly chinese copy of G-gauge freight waggon.
I took a rotary tool to remove the unnecessary walls, so far so good.

But the first round on the tracks was frustating: the car starts to jump over the track switches and on the third switch it derailed....


Here´s the video of the desaster:

Next try will be with an old Playmobil car....
The yellow car was directly thrown into the bin.

Regards
schluss

No, more weight was no solution.
I put a great amount of plumb into the car.

The major problem was pure quality of the wheels...

Sounds like too much sideways movement on the axles.
