Is it derailing when approaching from the frog end or through the points? I'm going to guess it is picking the points. It may be either a small gauge problem with the loco, or a problem with the point on the tighter of the 2 radii. If you can run it through really slow and see what is happening, you might fix it with just a bit of work on the point or a bit of a shim on the guard rail.

Thanks, Russ. I might try correcting this then by adding a shim of 8 thousandths of an inch to the guard rail. Rob
