Stupid tiny N scale track.
I've got two places that are giving me fits.
For those that don't know or have forgotten, I'm doing the Scenic Ridge kit from Woodland Scenics.
The first spot is right as the train comes out of the bottom tunnel just before it goes under the bridge. That one section of track got kinked just a millimeter or two sideways when I glued it down. It derails the front truck on my steamer about every 3rd or 4th pass. This is going to be fun to fix because it goes right into the tunnel where my hands don't fit and has been glued and ballasted already.
The second one is just after the train crosses the bridge and enters the curve into the top tunnel. This spot has not given me one iota of trouble the whole time the track has been laid out until today. It's not glued down yet so it's easy to move around but no matter what I do, the engine wants to derail about every second pass.
I should have stuck with O gauge. :curse:
