In your movie #4, the train goes through much of the last turn with the wrong
tilt..., like the last car got “stuck” in the previous tilt. Is something
jamming?

The movie

You’re absolutely right, well spotted, I didn’t notice that myself.
The thing is, I ran out of train weights for the second car, so its not quite as
heavy as the first car. It has got two implications: Firstly, the car doesn’t
tilt as much and secondly, there is a delay in the tilting (the tilt is hard to
see in small curves and persists for a while when back on the straight track).
So, with two curves right after each other, the car didn’t get back in position
in time. It is not stuck or jammed, it moves freely around the towball
couplings. It’s just too light, I suppose...
I’m glad you like the train.
