The Yellow Brick Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) I've noticed that when you put the PF trains on the seventh speed it seems to tips on corners. Has anybody found a solution to stop it from tipping over ??? P.S I'm not sure if this question has been asked before on this forum.

talltim Posted August 14, 2010 I think the solution is to slow down for corners! The real railway has speed restrictions on curves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Dawson Posted August 14, 2010 At top speed, the trains will "tip" round curves, due to the fact that curves are extremely tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SavaTheAggie Posted August 14, 2010 It's not a PF specific "problem". 9v trains did this too. Just manage your speed properly or bank your curves. --Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddie Posted August 14, 2010 It's a common "problem" - While I can't comment on if the 12V trains did it, all other trains did tip over in corners at full speed. It is an intentional play feature LEGO left in, so kids could have fun with them and incorporating emergency services and such. The exception to this is 4559, which could be sent around corners at full power without tipping over or losing its cargo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toyboxglobal Posted August 24, 2010 I agree, it's not a 9V/PF specific problem, rather a question of physics I guess the solutions would be to: A) Slow down B) Add more carriages, but that achieves solution A C) Add some weight to the bottom of the engine/carriages (lowers the centre of gravity) D) Bank your curves (as suggested by SavaTheAggie) E) Speed up and let it fly off the track, it can be rebuilt! That's what is so awesome about LEGO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carefree_Dude Posted August 24, 2010 its fun to put a bunch of minifigs on a baseplate by that curve, then let the train go crazy. see how many minifigs you can take out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
