Had a similar case, loose consist placed over diverging exit of switch, jumps straight as soon as coupled (switch is straight by default, outside of path, cannot be reset by player as player loco still on previous switch).Love and Peace

RE: Train parts/Cars jumping to other track....

http://www.train-sim.com/cgi/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=13495&forum=DCForumID3http://www.train-sim.com/cgi/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=5089&forum=DCForumID5That's the MS/TA cement hopper from the SD40-2 MSTS 1.2 content update package. Bob seems to think the trouble is the length to weight ratio of the car, so if the car you're using is unusually short and heavy that would confirm it. Reducing the weight of the cement hopper does appear to fix the problem, altho it's kind of a bummer having to use less than prototypical weight. Takes all the fun out of trying to drag a string up a 4% grade when you can cheat!
