Troubleshooting
Wagon derails frequently
Check that the track is level and curves are not too tight for the train composition. Ensure the wagon's wheels are clean and not obstructed. Verify that couplings are correctly attached and not causing misalignment.
Coupling issues
Ensure the couplings on both the wagon and the connecting rolling stock are compatible and correctly engaged. Check for any debris obstructing the coupling mechanism.
Wheels not turning freely
Gently inspect the wheels for any dirt or debris. If necessary, carefully clean the wheel flanges and axles with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using lubricants unless specifically recommended for model railway use and applied sparingly.
