Ahh thank you Simon, I might try however does show it’s a possible point of weakness

Hi moccasin, it’s all hornby track the derailment on the second one happened on fourth radius. It ran fine at full speed without the coaches. But then once I added the coaches it left the bend. It happened the once, now I can’t check what may have caused it as both hsts are down. Only leaves me with the scotsman which runs fine on it last time I tried.

Thank you…shame it failed after one derailment

Hi, not posted before as I mainly just read stuff for help as I’ve only just got into TT. However to help others here goes I have the green hst at hornby for repair due to lack of drive. At the time I wondered if something had broken off a wagon and got inside the powertrain as I found a black piece of plastic loose inside. This repair is still at hornby. However I have another one brand new green hst which upon receipt of my new coaches today I tried out. The hst for whatever reason derailed, upon returning to track I find the exact same problem as the other hst. Low and behold under the wheel I find the same piece of plastic as the other one. This I will now need to return. I’ve added a picture below to help others or help me confirm my hypothesis. I was unable to check the first hst as the screws couldn’t be undone on the chassis. Hope this post helps and is allowed
