WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

You're right Kevin, not only does running the trains find flaws in the planning, but it also finds flaws in the trackwork. So far I am okay though, no problems on the mechanical aspects. I did have one boxcar that derailed at the same switch every lap. Every other car and loco went through the switch perfectly. But the one boxcar was amazingly consistent, it derailed every time, but only on that one switch! It wen through all the others just fine. I wonder what little intricate detail is wrong on that bocxcar that made it derail there. I did notice that the car was not quite as free-rolling as the rest. I'll check it out tomorrow, probably put new wheels on it and see if it changes anything.
