Bachmann 2-6-6-2 H4 Brake Hangers too low.

Test running my steam engines on my new Unitrack test layout, I found that my H4 2-6-6-2 got hung up on different rail joints.
I did notice that the two rails were not completely level, but posed no problems with the rest of my engines.
Upon closer inspection I found that the brake hangers were to low and catching the rail joints. Has anybody else had this problem?
I'll probably just file down the problematic hangers to a level were they will clear the joints.

I had that happen with one of my H5's but my H4 was fine. Trimming the hangers should be fine.
