Make sure the body is not interfering with the proper operation of the mechanism.

Larry: That's the first thing I checked ... several times in fact. It's a pretty simple arrangement. The countedweight isn't hung up, the back of the giraffe's does touch the roof of the car .... I don't know what else it could be. I ran the train at the same speed with the body shell on and the giraffe does drop but late and hits the telltales. With the body shell off it'DROPS LIKE A ROCK" and misses the telltales.
