I have had one wreck, and only one, but it was very, very bad. I left a small razor saw on the layout after doing some last minute repairs. Wasn't where it could do any damage though. But stupid me. anyway, vibration from passing trains caused it to fall to where it fell onto the track, but not so it shorted it out, only so that the wheels of a Legacy 3751 ATSF Northern rolled up and over it as it came around a bend.
But wait, there's more! If you are this stupid, absolutely free, the fates will arrange for this to happen right near the edge of the layout! 3751 plunged off and over and fell 39" to the floor, which was cushionedwith all of 1/4 inch of carpet. It lost its rear truck, sheered off, and assorted "separately applied parts," etc.
It still ran, but it was not a good day. The movie ends well, though. I used the chassis and installed it in an old MTH 2929 ATSF Northern body on it, and used its rear trucks, etc., and have a Legacy model of that later, bigger ATSF Northern class. All is well that ends well.
It was stilla really bad day at the time.
