Phill,

I would be very careful about recommending any of ACME's products or using 
them either for that matter.  I know that Wylie E. Coyote has used a lot of 
their items and always there is some problem with them that sooner or later, 
sooner usually, results in catastrophic failure.  Maybe you should use 
bungee cords to keep your equipment tightly against the rails?  Of course 
you could use the system that roller coasters use, IE: an extra set of 
wheels that run against the bottom of the rails.

G'Day Alan,

I like solving problems, and your question is a nice easy one.

Actually, in the Southern hemisphere we coat all our wheels with a special 
glue that never hardens. It just stays very sticky. This is how we keep our 
trains on the track. We aren't supposed to tell people from the northern 
hemisphere about this, as they may panic while riding on the trains. We have 
had very few instances where the glue has failed. Most of our derailments 
have occurred when the glue coating has not been maintained properly, and 
hence the train/wagons have left the track.

The glue is an ACME product, call "Track Glue". Check their website for the 
details.

I hope this solves your quandary.


Cheers,

Phill.

As you guys are upside down, how do you keep your trains stuck on the track?
