It doesn't matter if you are an expert or a beginner at building model train layouts because sooner or later you are going to have a derailment or two, or three.....There is nothing more frustrating than running your trains on your beautiful layout and having them derail (especially in front of friends).
So you ignore your friends and begin checking your layout to find out what's wrong. Eventually you find the cause of the derailment and fix it. You run your trains again and say "hallelujah" as your train passes over the problem spot without derailing. But now it really gets annoying because a week later you run your trains again and they derail again... but in a different spot. "Pass me the sledgehammer please."Maybe that's a little too drastic, especially when you consider all the time and money that went into your layout. However, when your trains are not operating properly the fun is gone and the dark side tries to take over, but you can keep the dark side away by practicing a little bit of maintenance and following a few simple steps.
