passenger carriage boogies ( wheels)

[gardener69Participant @gardener69]

    Have a couple of new carriages 7.25 ” gauge just built,  on testing on track the carriages keep coming off, especially on the curves and over the points.  Believe wheels are at fault, what do I need to check.  There is a bit of sideways movement of boogies.  Any ideas?

wots this? Bogies boogying around? ha ha!

eriously, check wheel gauge against track gauge as it sounds like flanges too tight fit `tween rails causing them to ride up sides of curved rail and jump off top.
