Troubleshooting
Car doesn't couple easily
Ensure the magnet couplers on both the dump car and the adjacent car are clean and properly aligned. Check for any debris obstructing the magnets.
Hopper is stiff or won't tip
Gently inspect the hopper hinge for any obstructions. Ensure no small items are jammed in the mechanism. If necessary, gently flex the hopper back and forth a few times.
Stickers not sticking well
Ensure the surface of the dump car is clean and dry before applying stickers. Press firmly after application. If a sticker has lost adhesion, you may need to reapply a small amount of suitable adhesive, or replace the sticker if possible.
Car derails frequently
Check that the track is level and properly joined. Ensure the car's wheels are clean and rotate freely. Verify that the car is compatible with the track gauge and any curves on your layout.
