I had the pleasure of running a consist of 13 Weaver 20" cars on a large modular layout with my train club this weekend and I need some suggestions on how to keep the couplers closed and the cars from separating on the various slightly mismatched modular track sections and switches on the layout?
One club member had a couple of what looked like dental retainer rubber bands which worked but I had 13 cars in the consist and was plagued with many runaway situations. I plan to secure all the cars next time I run on the layout and I also need some suggestions to keep the couplers from riding up and off of each other with enough give as not to derail.
