Don’t know if this is the right forum to ask this but in my experimenting with various tracks over the past year, the one thing that I’ve noticed with Real Trax is that it has never been a real smooth transition on the rails from track to track with the design, which causes a good amount of banging noise as the trucks go over them. Now we’re talking maybe 0.5±mm differential, but that is enough to cause frustrating derailments on a regular basis.
I knew this going into my transition to RealTrax for my layout but I chalked it up to me buying single pieces of track in lots from the LHS and never from a brand new set. Lo and behold the same thing is occuring with the new tracks from the RTR set I just purchased, so much that I used pliers and forced each misaligned rail to match as best as possible. I don’t think that this can be a common occurrence of trains derailing all the time using RealTrax, otherwise there would be discussions ad infinitum to be found on the internet.
Has anyone had this problem before in the past, and how have you addressed it?
Thanks, Kevin.
