Ease of Derailment Question

[bpetit]

If I set it to zero will the engine not derail at all?

It will still derail. I have some set to 0 and they still derail but it will cut down on the wobble. Mostly noticeable on turntables.

Ease of derailment has something to do with the cars center of gravity. From the Railworks wiki:

This value is used to calculate how easy it is for the locomotive to derail. The parameter works by moving the centre of gravity up and down. The value (which can be set between 0 and 1) translates into -2m to 2m, so setting the value to 0 moves the centre of gravity down 2m (which would make it impossible to tip over) and 1 would move it up 2m making it very easy to derail.
