Model train set doesn't really work?

[TheGoldShot]

I know its not the main point of the game and more a fun novelty but i really enjoyed earning the various train cars, locomotive and new buildings and whatnot but i just wish they wouldn't randomly jump off the track when they are going a reasonable speed or look like they got switched onto and invisible siding with no buffers and they just roll off the track. Though like i said i get its not the main part of the game i just wish it worked a little smoother.

Hey there. You need to control the speed of the train in order for it to not go off the track. Try to lower the speed of it before a curve.

yeah im very aware of that but sometimes even at the slowest speeds it'll jump off in the mountainous areas

There is one very tight curve on the track which I never managed to get a train around. It's at the far side of the track, on the way up to the hills on the left. I could get a single engine past it sometimes, by driving very slowly, but never a proper train with at least one carriage.

Hmmm... I understand completely. Thank you for the reports in regards to that.

I'm commenting to also point out that the model train doesn't seem to work for me. I tried with all of the wagons, with no wagons, as fast as possible and as slow as possible, and yet, the model train always seems to derail in some turns.

Thank you for the report! We'll look into it to possibly check what is not working properly. Report is much appreciated!

This is one of the corners that is to tight. Even a lone engine cannot get around it.

Thanks, Thought I had grabbed the right link. stupid steam.

The whole road was tested by us and the corners were designed to specifically accommodate the movement of the train. However if you tell us that it still derails even after decreasing/increasing (appropriately) the speed of the moving train we'll be happy to check it again. Thank you!

I've noticed a few other sections where the train appears to get hung up (regardless of speed), doesn't derail, just like it hits a wall. I can sometimes get past it if I back up, and "ram" it at full speed, but then cars do derail.

Found one more big one. there is a tunnel where the train just pops right out of the mountain:

One thing I will note to anyone else having a lot of issues, double check your switching, if the switch is set the wrong way when you are coming at it from the other direction, you will derail. (i.e. at a Y junction, if you are coming from top right, but the switch is set to top left you will derail)

Thank you for your report and for the additional information about the train. We'll be happy to look into those invisible walls to see if there is anything in particular block the train. Much appreciated.

I noticed it seems to go off into the lake even at 9mph if I use the blue engine rather than the one you start with. The starter engine can go around that at like 30ish with no issue. I’m not sure if the actual cars behind the engine makes a difference as I haven’t tested it.
