Len,

I think I figured out the problem. 

I put my NMRA Standards gage on the truck's wheels and found the rear wheel was a little tight.

I figured this out by lightly pushing the truck over the turnout and found the truck was binding on the rails between the points and frog on the turnout.

This lead me to checking the wheels.

Now I need to figure out how to adjust the wheels on the truck.

HO / Bachmann High Rail Equipment Truck DCC
October 08, 2024, 03:22:34 PM
Hello All,
I received my Bachmann High Rail Equipment Truck found this on Ebay it has DCC and it works and LED's works
I run NCE DCC systems.  I was able to add this truck as address 86 to my JMRI Decoder Pro which allows me to add the truck to my engines table
When I run the truck on my layout I ran into 3 problems.  Problem 1 over road crossing that I made using woodland scenic products. I cut away the material and now the trucks run through the crossing Problem 2. I use Atlas Code 83 track, and it has trouble going over a turnout Problem 3. It has trouble going over crossings 45 and 90 have not tried the 45 crossing yet.
Problems 2 and 3 I am still trying to resolve but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would be appreciated.

Thank you

Tom
