Dave, in case you're interested in some early feedback.... I've noticed a few times now where the rolling stock (included in the set) coupled closest to the S2 locomotive is very often pushed/pulled off the rails when riding on less than O-72 curves -- even though the locomotive itself is rated for O-36 curves. I will try placing a die-cast hopper (not from the set) in that position, and report back on what happens. But the lighter weight of the rolling stock may be a contributing factor for minor derailments, because the coupler of the S2 appears very firm -- not much play in it for a locomotive that's rated to handle O-36 curves.

Okay, I'll test out my set here tomorrow and see if I can duplicate it.
Dave, try it on an O-54 curve. Just another thought... I'm also running on MTH ScaleTrax, so that has a fairly low-profile rail height. But this is the first set of trains where I've encountered this issue.
