Thanks Sam, got the tenmille decal sheet and roof vents on the way for it. Need to add some weight to it as it seems to dislike corners at the moment.
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

I have clearance on the sole bars. That was my first thought. It is bouncing over the rail in 2 places on my line. Sure with some added weight from interior and a minor bit of ballasting in the guard end it should be fine.

The bogies are fine mike. They have minor compensation but then again my line is not exactly forgiving for these large carriages lol

I guess worst case is I move house and build a more forgiving and prototypical line

It's the 2'6" curves onto long straights that cause the derailments. Ideally I want to ease them all but mamod track is hard to ease lol
