Hi BPT!
I recently bought the Train Suite Shikishima Plarail and I was excited to watch it run around the layout.
However, I noticed it isn't able to negotiate points properly due to the extended distance between the axles of the wheelsets of the middle cars.
This is particularly obvious when the train is merging from the curved path of the point.
When I went back to the packaging to check if there are any instructions, I noticed something written in small text at the back of the box.
”This train cannot be used on crossing point rails”
Based on the name of the part written, I believe they are referring to the cross point rail. Cross point rail
This is understandable because the train would not be able to pass through the tight curve of the Cross point rail.
Even though regular points shouldn't have the problem, my Shikishima has been derailing very often when passing through points.
I would also like to add that the LED lights in the front car are white and not the warm yellow shown in the photos.
I thought that I would let people know that this premium set has these problems.
