Wayne,
I noticed you weren't adding any extra weight to those Accurail cars... do you not weight your cars to the NMRA spec (1oz + 0.5oz/inch of length)? I found once I started getting my cars to consistent weight my operating reliability increased sharply.
To add the extra weight, I use the A-Line adhesive weights, and haven't had any come loose in nearly 20 years of use.
