This Locomotive & Tender tends to jump the tracks especially in the 0-72 curves. As I observe the locomotive going through a curve the inside duplex drive wheels rollover the inside/outside rail pulling the locomotive into and causing the locomotive & tender to derail. I looked at the duplex drive wheels and noticed quite a bit of play when moving the individual wheels back and forth. Is this common to this locomotive? Also, should the brass axle support bearings move as well or should they be mounted in a slotted fixed position on bottom of chassis? I thank you for your insights and replies.
