I have nine Gargraves switches on the 4 x 8 layout I am creating for my for my grandson, five manual and four remote.
Short Back Story: Because the layout will stand vertically behind a cabinet, I could not use the manual Fastrack switches because the posts stick straight up and will be broken off the first time my daughter stands it vertically behind a cabinet. That many Ross switches would have cost me a fortune so that left Gargraves. The layout consists of an outer loop of Fastrack and an inner loop of Gargraves with some sidings of Gargraves straight track, Gargraves switches, and the curved ends of the loop are Menards tubular. The curved ends of the loop are 031. Couldn't bend the Gargraves flex track that tight (tried).
I am testing the layout as I go and the cars (especially passenger cars) derail consistently. At the first outer rail switch point the wheel rides up on the point - outer rail combination (but only when the switch is preceded by a curve. It is much worse with the tubular curved track than the Gargraves curved track (but those are 042 and the Menards are 031). I have attached some photos and videos.
Thanks for the help.
John
