Just so you know, Bachmann has discontinued the Scale 44 ton switcher. This message is on their parts web page for the Scale 44 ton switcher. Most of the parts for that are now gone. So I'm not sure what coupler assembly was used on that model.
But WBB has a standard operating coupler assembly that was also used on the RMT Buddy RDC Budd Car and their S-4 Bang switcher. And I had the same problem with those two models, derailing the first car of a train on 027 curves.

@brianel_k-lineguy, it's not the same coupler as RMT Buddy RDC Budd Car. Like the 44-tonner, the 70-tonner has fixed pilots. The couplers are independent of the trucks. I haven't seen a 44-tonner in person, but based on pictures, I think that the 70-tonner has the same couplers as it.
