Hi all,
I just picked up 6 of the Menards flat cars and they look great. The issue I am having is that of the 6, only 2 of them really work well. The others have very sticky couplers, the trucks don't like to go around the track, and if I back them up, I'm almost guaranteed a derailment.
Any advice? I've tried oil, weight, slowing down, putting them at the end of the train, etc.
Thanks for any advice with making them run a bit better.

If you're talking about the 11-inch flatcars, try this thread I posted earlier this year:

The early batches of flat cars such as the 24 pack had coupler problems. Are these the most recent offerings?
Possible wheel is out of Gauge?

These are labeled built in 2014? I just got them about a week ago. Maybe these are left over from then?
