Ok, here's a photo at one of my club's module shows, I"m running two autoracks around impressing the kids. They are somewhat top-heavy, so poor trackwork has sent them over before. But they've been mostly stable and I haven't had to pick them up often.

Awesome. Love the row houses!

I've found the Bachmann trilevels do ride awkward but haven't troubleshot them specifically. If you have a chance to get an Accurail rack you should try those, they are a little beefier in the deck vs the rack so that helps the ops department. Mine have very few issues getting around my 4x8.

I like the Oscar Mayer Weiner-Mobile.

And two racks full of Pacers and Gremlins is pretty cool too!

Those racks are great...

I wasn't brave enough to go so top heavy, using NASCAR key chain cars on one and fairly well hidden weights on the other. I body mounted Kadees and put Kadee 28" wheelsets on them for better tracking.

I like the Row houses also and the Oscar Meyer car also. Great photo of Fresh Cherries on the racks.
