Some of you guys are drastically over thinking charging and are mentally creating a problem where none exists. In regards to derailments, get some better track work in place. The only time I've ever had derailment problems was in n scale. It was a combination of wheel gauge and poor track work at switches. If you are converting a 3 rail engine with deep flanges over to battery power, you've got zero excuses for derailment. None! Your layout is very poorly done if that's an issue and I won't for a second accept the lack of non derailing switches as an excuse. Scale wheels shouldn't have any issues either. Derailments may not be impossible but they should be so few and far between that it's considered a non issue.
