Hi George --
Good story! I will let you know if I find the proper form of exorcism...
Re: your boxcar – if you haven’t done it already, check the truck mounting
boss on the car bolster. Sometimes they crack or swell from the pressure
of the screw self-threading and bind the trucks ability to pivot or rock.
I have yet to go so far as to remove those that offend, because I I can
usually file or slice them down to a non-interfering fit.
Let me know if that helps,

Bill,
I've got a Ball Line boxcar that derails at most switches. I've got 4 other
similar cars that don't. We've installed NSWL wheelsets, added weight,
removed part of the underframe, added different trucks, checked the gauge 10
times. Still no fix. If you have any luck let us know.
Tony Koester once related on a similar problem that he put the problem child
in a purple painted drum with a yellow stripe and beat on the drum to drive
the devils out. Said it seemed a perfectly normal response at the time.
