Beef Diesels, ? cant negotiate curves

More likely one or both wheel sets are gauged too wide. Call Walt at RMT. He is very good with addressing product issues.

Terry,

I will second Chris's comments.  Walter is very good at resolving issues like this.

Give him a call.

Yes, their trucks don't swivel since they have no trucks - just two fixed axles that never vary and thus roll at an angle in curves.  I have four.  They go nicely around 36" curves and will tolerate 27" okay.  Nice locos.  I can't imagine why or how they can't go around curves.  Call RMT.

If you can post a vide4o of them not going around a curve, that would help people understand what the problem is, too.

As was said, these are fixed wheel single trucks...you might have tow problems to look for-

-check the couplers for good side to side movement

-if your connecting the tether make sure it's not binding on the body or diaphram...mine did that and either tucking those in better or just disconnecting them fixed that.

You didn't say what curves you were running those on, but like Lee, I've ran mine on 0-36 fastrack with little problems...except the tether binding thing. 

Trucks do not swivel at all , is this correct !??

Weighted down that "B" unit with a Willams F3, and  TA- DA : 14 car consist

and away we go !!!!!!!!!  all my curves, are switch back, 0-27 tubular, on this track,

Believe to light , because every car derailed on PW, 022 switch, that has never caused problems,  until the new lash up !!

There are no trucks, so there is no swivel.  BEEFs and BEEPs have only two axles each, total.  Think about it; basically the entire loco is a "truck" that swivels itself to follow the track.  Superstreets vehicles and some trolleys are exactly the same. 

It was just news to me when I opened the box,  I do have a couple areas lifting up

on tracks, at the semaphore, so I took off track controller and it laid the track right back down,  so then put the HEAVY, F-3 on the back, hooked up everything

including the 2- RmT, depressed flats, and now NO , problem even going across

switch, that has never been a problem.  I still think to light (weight ), on the

B unit butt !!!!!    Just to play with them , I am going to put them on the 072,

track that is on the floor under layout , and check that out !!

Yeah, no trucks, just a body on a powered frame basically.
