Is the track ballasted?
Might be a piece of ballast, stuck to the inside of the rail. With the light weight of the trailing truck, that one small piece maybe bouncing the truck out.
I've gone crazy(even in HO) trying to figure out why one car would derail, and another won't. Went nuts looking for the problem, til I ran a small screwdriver along the inside rail, and knoked loose a piece of ballest that was stuck.
No problem since.
