Troubleshooting
Wagon derails frequently
Ensure the track is level and free from debris. Check that the wheels are spinning freely and that the couplings are not snagging. Verify that the wagon is correctly seated on the track.
Coupling is stiff or not connecting
Gently check the coupling for any obstructions. Ensure it is aligned correctly with the coupling on the adjacent rolling stock. Avoid forcing the connection.
Canvas hood detail is damaged
If the canvas hood is bent, you may be able to carefully straighten it with fine tweezers. For significant damage, contact Hornby customer support for advice or replacement parts if available.
Model does not run smoothly
Check the wheels for any debris or damage. Ensure the undercarriage is clear of obstructions. If the issue persists, a very light application of model lubricant to the axle points may help, but use sparingly.
