I run most of my postwar Heavy duty action cars with postwar locos without problems. I did eliminate the five rail track on the main loops. You can Always run your postwar locos at a moderate pace ( I have seen your postwar engines pulling long lines of these dump cars without derailment or anything obviously out of kilter) did you check your five rail remote track for irregularities ? Maybe something other than speed is the issue. Speed can exacerbate the underlying problem. I had one that had a loose enough rail that overtime deteriorated the sliding shoes.
and yes, they can be a bugger to fix or replace if it’s not your bag. Lol.
let us know what you find.
Btw: the mood up here in Maine is Severely altered when Yankees vs Red Sox is in favor of Yankees.
ask me how I know! There are three former New Yorkers here at work. That’s it! We are in Red Sox territory. I will find out tomorrow. Enjoy the game.
all my best.
