General Lionel Model Train Discussion / Derailment problem
« on: September 12, 2015, 05:57:52 pm »
Hi, 

I bought a Lionel U33c Diesel #3307:

It states it requires a minimum O31 curve.  That's what I have.  Unfortunately the rear truck derails almost all the time as it goes around the curve.   Has anyone had any thing happen like this?  So far other trains are fine on the layout though I haven't checked all the engines.  If I need to I can go to O42 though I don't have  a lot of room for a large layout.

Thanks!

On edit. I'm using standard 3 rail O gauge, not FasTrack

General Lionel Model Train Discussion / #990 Legacy Control System
« on: September 07, 2015, 06:05:55 pm »
Hi All.  I just arrived at your forum.  I'm one of those that had a Lionel set back in the 50s and decided to start putting it back together. 

I just bought a #990 Legacy control System and have a question.  I have a Lionel 4-6-2 which is Command and Rail-sounds Ready.  Apparently that means I can buy the upgrade chips and install them in the engine and tender.  What I do not know is if Legacy System will work with the TrainMaster Command operations.  Would anyone know?

Thanks!  Now off to read some posts.

Charlie
