We had a similar problem on our club layout. The locomotive would derail on a left hand turnout. I think it is 072. The problem was the pilot truck would pick the switch and run straight whereas the drivers would follow the curved rail. The switch was as shown in the previously posted photos. The curved rail was not firmly against the outside rail. Never noticed it before as all the other locomotives we run on the layout go through the switch just fine. If I manually push the curved rail against the outside rail and run the locomotive slowly through the switch, the locomotive will follow the curved direction. Haven't come up with a solution yet. Have thought of indenting the outside rail so the curved rail would sit into the outside rail (like the 022 switches).
Naturally the switch is the farthest from our control panel and cannot be seen from the control panel. So we are afraid to run it.
It is a shame we can't run this beautiful locomotive. Can anyone suggest a possible solution?
