This is my layout under construction. Most models are scratch built.

Hi Mal. Thanks for answering.My loco? Is a kitson of 1897 built for the Barsi light railway of India. Having scratch built it around a Graham Farish 0-8-0 chassis which worked till a gear split. Got replacements they split. Moving to 2019, I had this Arnold chassis sitting around,but the motor was rubbish. Got a can motor,  did a little engineering and got it all to work to where i was happy. I turned the flanges down to NMRA standards and all was good. So far all testing was done on a straight section of track. Put it on my layout and the back bogie kept jumping the track. Took the rear bogie off, put the loco on the track with the shell on, it jumped the track. Took the shell off the chassis and it went around without a problem, put the shell back on and it jumped the track. Radius of my track is 10.5 inches or 26.6cm.I have scratched my head to the point i lost 50% of it. Hence the help. I have a similar Arnold chassis with the rubbish motor and it goes around jerking and jiving but it does not derail.
Go figure....???!!! I changed the back to back spacing from NMRA to Uk/ European standards but to no avail.
Help!l
Robin.
