Thank you for your help on my previous post about my derailing problems with my heavyweight passenger cars.
I just received my new American Flyer CNW stockcar and it also is derailing like crazy on the same curves and switches that the heavyweights derailed upon. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise (https://youtu.be/2TnkJ8_BmSI), the wheel sets are wildly out of gauge (as they were on the heavyweights) but this time the gauge on all the wheelsets is too wide (by almost 0.3cm)
My new problem is that the wheelsets are very hard to regauge narrower (unlike original Gilbert wheelsets on which the wheels can be re-positioned with finger pressure). Is there an easy way to narrow the gauge? The problem is compounded by the fact that it is very difficult to remove the wheelsets from trucks, (unlike with original Gilbert trucks, which allow easy removal).
