Assuming that it's a dead frog turnout (PECO Insulfrog type), this is most likely to be due to the loco not having a long enough wheelbase to avoid ending up with all its wheels on the dead frog. I have this problem with some small 0-6-0 diesel switchers I have in my British OO collection. Interestingly, I have a little 0-4-0 steam swither that will amble over the same track without any problems at all, despite having a far shorter wheelbase!
