Kato double viaduct curves super-elevated vs flat

[cteno4]

Has anyone had any issues running the new kato double viaduct super elevated curves with any trains? wondering if the tomix swinging diaphragms or the older kato diaphragm couplers might have issues being twisted a bit with the curve plus super elevation.

 

thanks

Not the viaduct track, but I have the Kato V11 super elevated.. same radii as the viaduct version.. and I've never had issues with Tomix diaphragms on the curves. The only issues I've ever had are with micro-trains couplers.. and only a few times.. generally it seems like the tilt is gentle enough that it doesn't cause issues.

 

edit: I've heard tall cars (auto racks & such) can have issues from being too top heavy.

Hello, I have V14 (R 315 - 282) and V11 (R 414 - 381).

In the R 282 I have problems with Kato EMD8 because is very long and has 3 axles per truck, so as the model has no isostatic system the engine, once enter in the curve, derails: in the same radius but ground type is ok.

For the R 315 the same loco runs well but I prefer use the V11... nextly I'll purchase the V16 for more realistic high speed operations... :)
