I love snow! Hope the house upgrades are going well.

Very helpful, thanks!

What would be really awesome is a device that rolls over the track that grinds high spots. I'm surprised no one has invented a tool or a dremel attachment. I have this sort of track problem where turnouts connect to curved track. I can't use tight turns with turnouts.

Is it possible to add double crossover switch between two #6 turnout switches? I am asking this question because the distance between double crossover tracks is fixed.

Great know. Thanks

So your track aren't level with one another... and the train car wheel, being so small, now fall in the " V " you created and the noise level just shot up. I'll level my track thank you.

Do all the trains need to be all on a leg of the fig. 8, before you hit the A isolaters?

Fantastic. Wow. Can you tell me how you did the reverse loops in the figure 8 connected to a mainline

Great video. Thanks. I wish I knew how to put the couplers back together.

nice tip for using any kind of sectional road bad track

If your really careful you can use a chainsaw

Great tip, I too have an issue with a given engine. I'm going to give your tip a try. Appreciate your video.

Absolutely love your layout through all your videos because this is the exact size I will have space for as well. To get me started , what size diameter is your figure 8 loop ? Is this 9 3/4 ?

Now thats a good N scale layout it looks like you have big job ahead of you but if you can take it one day at a time it will get done in time and I saw those 4 locomotives running on your N scale layout what are those named Locomotives that were running on that track and do you have plenty of N scale train cars too if so I would like to see them sometime down the road from now

You are talking about the RAIL correct?

This fix works with all manufactures of all scales, but the smaller scale the more it tends to derail wheel sets.

Rule #1: never put a turnout at the end of a curved section.

My, what long fingernails you have !

Cool idea

your video is a total waste of time to n-scalers because you do not show how you mounted the camera or provide any audio. unsubscribing and moving on...

The trick is to nit damage the rails by flexing the joints vertically ( up and down). This damages the rail joiners slo thermal surface no longer matches smoothly. this might solve the issue.

WELL DONE IN FAULT FINDING AND SHOWING US ALL YOUR FIX

Should I do this trick on my O scale, or are the cars heavy enough not to worry about it?

Great tip. Thank you!

This will help me out I have an engine where the fuel tank is right over the track and ever so often there will be a joint of rail sticks up just so slightly to catch the fuel tank and stop the train

I gave up with the whole thing because of too many derailments!

video keeps stopping, and the image quality seems worse than the cheap SQ cameras on Amazon

The only time the track need filing is when its base is skewed or the joiners are worn out. The tracks are mass produced so the issue is not in its design. Filing a 45 degree angle is just cutting a grove in the rail. Using the cutter to remove the joiners it most likely the root cause. The cutter can squeeze the joiner rail deforming the pin......When snapping the rail together the rail will lift up. Buy a pack of joiners and use the blue tool.

I’m certainly going to try that. Cheers!

A precious and clever tip! Thank you.

This may of explained how I suffered multiple derailments at locations I just couldn't fathom . THANKYOU .👍👍👍👍

I haven't had this problem, however I have had problems with my track cleaning pads leaving debris on those burs, so I'd say this is a multi solution fix, thanks!

How dare you tell me this after I have already put all my track down! I am in HO scale with Kato unitrack but have the same little bumps. I don't have any derailing issues because I made my track flat. I did notice that on the turnouts they can be pretty rough when the trains go over them. It's like the flanges on the wheels hit the frogs.

We are users of the Kato Unitrak tracks which we like very much; your explanations are very interesting and we will pay special attention to implement your solution to improve the running of our trains. Thank you very much for your help.

Absolutely love your nails.

Great info. Thanks

Thanks for sharing the process and thoughts as your layout evolves. I especially enjoyed your inclusion of the switching puzzle within a looping layout too !

Thanks for sharing this video and information.

Thanks for sharing this video and information.

Thanks for sharing this video and information. Nice layout. Do you have track plans available?

Great job running that many trains at the same time in some of your other videos. Very interesting! I also love the figure 8!

Great idea! I will do this on the track that has yet to be laid. Now to figure out how to do this with the stuff that's already hot-glued down and had ground cover installed. 8^)

I have same problem with mine I definitely try this new sub here please check mine out if you get chance Many thanks

As I'm building my layout, I have just discovered this issue with the #4s. I'm going to leave shortly to go out and acquire #6s to replace the #4s. At least I purchase the #4s used from a model railroad museum, so they only cost me $5 each. I don't feel like waiting until they have some used #6s in stock, not to mention they are only opened one day a week, and are located on the other side of town from me. So, I will just make a quick trip to a close shop and buy them new, so I can get back to finishing the track. At least then I can run some trains while I finish the rest of the layout. With so many people having a problem with the #4 turnouts, you have to wonder why KATO would not solve the issue, or just discontinue that product!

how did you power it as this normally connects to a flight drone's power supply?

your focus seems to be a lot worse than many other SQ8 cab videos I have seen. any particular reason why?

Looks terrific. I’m ready to see more. I thought you had a reverse loop, at first.

Well , I too have this problem with a 3 axle truck on a kato engine to boot. My problem is that the track is already set in place. I will try and use a dremel drum file and see if I can just tap it enough to get near the same results.

The Arnold U23/25B's are really bad about small bumps because of the odd wheel arrangement of those six axle trucks. I had one hellva time trying to get that locomotive to track through certain switches. But yes doing that to the Kato track just slightly sometimes gets that bump, even with Atlas code 80 will do it too based on age.

I like the combination of a Switchinglayout and an Oval, you can do Operations or you can sit with a cup of Coffey and enjoy Trains very nice...
