    Is this a common problem?  Hope its an easy fix.  These are the times when you think steam roller wheels are best :( It runs pretty well, however hates curved points. It runs through most Peco code 100 or 75 points, however curved ones derail the pony almost every time. Strangely enough, scale code 83 Tillig curved points derail it at the frog every time. Other steamers run through without a bother. Gauge of points and wheel spacing to NMRA standards.
    Cheers
