Tumble Down Falls

Likewise I have been using Bachman metal wheels for over 2 decades now with few problems. I have encountered the odd out of gauge or wobbly one. These have been swopped out, key is to record wagon and location over a few running sessions. If tis the same wagon test out with eye to track to see what is occuring and which wheel, thus identified take that one out of wagon to examine it carefully. Roll along the track does it wobbke? Try it through a point does it go smoothly past the safety rail. All dead simple logical stuff to do.

I thought that LGB & Bachmann wheels would follow the industry 's standards

LGB definitely not, but ..................... they are both manufactured so that they run on track that is to model railway standards (can't remember which acronym I need).

The Bachmann / Lilliput wheel-sets, also seemed to suffer from quality control issues?

I have found some are out of gauge, and I did have some where the wheels were not perpendicular to the axles..

I have not had any recently, so this may be historical, but knowing how stock can hang around for some time..

PhilP.

Just found that out I have one wagon with Bachmann one on them, just fitted straight out of the packet, and it derails at the same point on a straight line at one spot all the others go through with no trouble.
Time to get out the track guage and the Jim Crows methinks.

As mentioned in Tumble Down Falls; Post # 144, I am creating a new station (Strawberry Line for some unknown reason) using LGB platform parts, however, it would seem my cat finds is comfortable in this warm weather!!

My cat Ezzie, the first to be granted a railway managers position on the West Well, in her 13th year. She decided lying across the rails was a "good thing" for train control. You could try advancing the loco, prodding her with its cow catcher, and her only responce was to carry on sitting in the way and hissing at the loco. So I built a 2nd loop as an avoiding line !

Jimmy,
Perhaps guarding against what ever is eating the strawberries.
It is puddy cats railway after all; just ask you will be told that is so.
Haven't you realised yet that Dogs have masters, cats have staff/servants.

The pest (eating the strawberries are wood louse), slugs are kept off by the course grit, and it is the wet weather that has exacerbated the issue.

Oh and the cat, yes we know our place
