 An Australian report on a goods train derailment makes for interesting reading. The report discusses the effect of curves leading into turnouts. Turnout 'standards'. Causes of derailments due to train - and wheel - dynamics and 'operations'. All relevant to anyone building track and operating model trains. The report features some excellent photos, diagrams and drawings.
