Ok , so these are amazing looking cars, and have great details.  However has anyone been able to get them to run reliably on O 72?
If so what's your secret?  Is there a science on setting the couplers? Why won't the swing from sided to side without binding.
Next question : when I remove all the screws from the floor the shell doesn't budge. How do you get inside these without damaging them?

Thanks

I routinely run nine coupled cars. Your track work has to be free of kinks and ANY aberrations between joining sections. You MUST tape over or saw off the thumbtack. You must adjust the coupler pocket distance to accommodate for the curves. There must not be any S curve. It MUST be a smooth flowing continuous radius curve.

 

I have no problems by adhering to the above. All a must.

 

Scrappy
