Hi Fellas, I put together a lionel tank Train, I bought this cars new in separates 3 cars sets and some individuals cars for a total of 8 cars.
I use MTH realtrax track, some cars derail when negotiate the switches (42, 54, and 72 radios)
Have somebody experience this before?
Any advise or suggestions?
Thank you

Do you have straight track approaching the switches?  I have had some derail issues and resolved it by adding a 5" straight piece prior to the switch, relocating the curved track.

 

Also, try running the train in the opposite direction over the switch to see if it derails in both directions. If it only derails in one direction, it could be caused by a curved track entering the switch.

 

Hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue.
