MicroAce KiHa 91 - Coupler problems

[keitaro]

Update ---

 

After pulling every car to little pieces wheels I mean everything and every piece that comes apart.

 

Filing a few pieces cleaning everything reassembling everything perfectly and spending 4 hours on this I am now satisfied with it's running performance.

 

No more derails one 315mm corners nor on switches. It still rarely derails on the re-railer

 

But it now goes fine all cars attached.

 

Still have issues on 280 curves though the block on the fronts of the cars jam on the car in front. But even then I got 8 laps before one truck came of then popped back on at the switch

 

I cant mod this though as it will ruin the detail of the train.

 

All details filed were finely filed under carriage part where the wheels would click and get locked in that spot.

Sounds like a fit-and-finish issue then. I've not been real satisfied with the state some of my recent purchases have arrived myself, but as you've discovered, it's usually something that a quick tear-down and reassembly fixes pretty well.
