Will my G Scale TOFC train cars make it through the LGB turnouts

The answer is no. haha.
These are custom built cars. I think if I add some weight to them, they would make the transition. Or, I can just stay on one of the mainlines. haha.

Nice layout. Great work on the weathering of the hoppers and boxcars. Adds so much realism to the train. Well done. 🙌👍😎

Sometimes when you run the trucks loose, they have more play that's what I did just my opinion. Nice train.

Time to dig around for something to add weight.

Check the gauge of the axles. It looks like it's too wide. Greetings from Germany 😉

those long TOFC cars need #6s. glade to see they are still running. I wonder if you had 2 feet of straight before the switch?

@southernillinoisgscale8206 8 ай бұрын

yep, I still run them! I think if there was a long straight stretch that would help. Some added weight would too. But, the odd's of me running them through these switches is slim.

I’m assuming you have body mounted KD couplers, probably 906 or 906R. It’s the extreme length that’s the issue and the amount of excessive swing as they pass through the switches. I had the same issue with my USAT auto racks. In order to increase the swing of the coupler within the draft box, cut away the sides on either side. Easy, simple and it works… my kinda fix!

I have kadee 906 on my freight cars. The TOFC cars have longer shank, like the usa trains tank cars.The last two cars in the video, each have one kadee on them. So they are connected by a kadee 906. Those are the cars the derailed first.
