Ucwepn's custom engine shed

Hi She rolls well, the truck is from Ferdinands short wheelbase caboose, it is attached with super glue but as you probably know all the small wheels have external holders on the ends so that's why I had to put the whole bulky unit with holders underneath. it seems to be a grip issue with the tender (its tender powered) and even after adding a 7gm weight it has improved slightly but needs more weight over the driving wheels.

Oh dear that corner, when I designed the layout I knew it would end up causing problems for longer trains as they turn left and lose momentum and immediately need to turn right over a slick section of double track switch (there are minimal track grooves so I will slice some more). It is also slightly up hill. If I run trains in reverse the other side closer to the roller door becomes the issue.
