    Is it just me, or is it absolutely impossible to put a Rokutan Z Shorty on the track? And if I do get it on the track, it promptly pops off. I've tried both rerail ramps. Why don't they make a Z rerailing track? Any tips? I'm very frustrated here.

    It looks like one of the copper electrical pickups has slipped out of the truck frame. They provide electrical pickup and hold the wheels in place. Pull the truck frame downward past the cone shaped protrusion on the copper plate. At the same time, push the copper plate and the wheels up into the truck frame. I hope that makes sense. Its pretty hard to describe. :unsure:

    I see what you mean. Now to see if I can fix it with these sausages I call fingers.

    Well, that was easy. Thanks for your help! Looks like I jacked up one of the pantographs...
