engine too large for curves

By: John C. (Merced, CA)

The set looks very nice. Put the oval together that the set comes with, the engine and it's tender derail by the second section of the 11.25 radius that come with this set. I tried heading the set both directions but it happened either way. Used a smaller diesel F9 engine and had no more problems. Seems to be too many wheels, too close together tostay on track.
