The catalog says the minimum curve is 0-27, yet when I tried it out on my new 0-27 dog bone layout it kept de-railing on the curves.
Any suggestions on how to run this on this layout?
Thanks
George

George I am having the same problem. See the link to thread on subway forum where SIRT has suggested adding weights to the cars. I am interested to hear if anyone onn the larger forum has any ideas as well. I may email Mike at Lionel as I don't think that I should have to modify a RTR set...especially as my EL is just a figure 8 with O36 and O48 curves.

Thanks Jay will check out that forum.
If your having trouble with O gauge curves, I don't think weights are going to help on 0-27 but let us know if it helps.
Also the non motorized passenger cars have a plastic band around both sets of trucks, not sure if I am supposed to remove them. The manual was silent on it, so I left them on. The motorized unit did not have them, but running only the motorized unit, it would not negotiate the curves.
