  1. It appears bad fish plates and tight curves are bad

    Also, locomotives with short wheelbases only derail because they're top heavy or speeding too much

    Turn playback speed to 0.25 at 22:41 and watch closely
    The Pannier's drivers aren't spaced out equal distance.

  2. The real culprit here is solid loco chassis. With the price that loco manufacturers charge, they should be able to fit some kind of suspension (compensation) – and a flywheel. All the 0-4-0's need is one rocking axle.
