Interesting views of the derailment and recovery in the third film... If they had derailments on the prototype, with fully-sprung ("compensated"!!) and properly weighted stock, is it any wonder that we get them on model railways...?? ... and more to the point, why is it seen as such a "Bad Thing" anyway, especially by the Self-Appointed Exhibition Experts..??
I had a derailment on my loft layout the other day... a loco unexpectedly derailed at a turnout frog. Turned out that a coupler trip-pin had fallen from it's coupler and lodged in the vee. As I pulled the loco back and found out the reason for the derailment, it became almost a pleasure to watch..!!! (Or am I just strange??


)
Now I have to find out which boxcar is missing a trip-pin...!!!
