Branchline Heavyweight coaches in CN and CP
#18
Well, after fiddling with these two cars for the past week, trying to get them to run right, I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to fix them. I ended up haveing to glue the roofs on because of the bowing. I even glued the styrene crossmembers and the roofs still wouldn't 'snap' into place like the instructions stated. And when I tried to run them on the layout, they consistently derailed on my 26" radius curve. I made the modification that Charlie suggested but that made no difference, the trucks still wouldn't rotate enough without hitting some of the underbody detail. I trimmed both the brake beams on the trucks and some of the brake rigging on the frame and still no go. 
   

All I can say is, anyone what them?
