I have installed some turnouts onto a layout im building. The problem is, all my cars seem to derail when they get over them, but only while being pulled by the engine. If the turnout is going straight, they are fine, but when I switch them, they derail when going over them. Engine stays fine and doesnt derail. If I run just the cars by themselves over them w/o being pulled by the engine, they do fine, but only when being pulled by the engine do they derail. Any idea why this is happening?? Also these are standard left/right turnouts by atlas, code 83. The cars im using are just basic standard, 10 year old ones that came out of a set which included code 83 track in the set, so they both used the same track. EDIT: I also just tried a car that was not with the set, it seems to do the same thing. Runs smooth, does curves fine etc, until it hits a turnout and then goes crazy and derails. This happens on ALL turnouts that are set to turn
