More engine and rolling stock testing.
With the track working well, each engine and cars needs additional testing.
Milwaukee S-3 4-8-4 by Overland models and Walther's Hiawatha passenger cars. This engine had some issues, previously, so it was tested again.

The lead trucks were derailing, once in awhile. Previously, I had change the front truck mount from a straight screw with a spring to this movable bar connected from the truck to the driver retaining plate. One additional mod was needed by putting a Z bend in the bar to keep the back of the truck from interfering with the bar.
The lead truck on the tender came off on one curve. Being under a mountain, I left the track alone and removed the tension spring that is normally on the truck bolster screw. This seemed to fix the problem as the spring was very rigid and the truck didn't have much vertical or horizontal movement with the spring.
One passenger car had a 'drooping' coupler so a thin piece of plastic stock (grey) was added to the retaining plate to raise the coupler.
All seems to be running well, now, with this engine and cars.
