Rich, The new code 83 insulfrog turnouts have a wider piece of plasic in the frog that prevents this from happening.  Was able to run trains with wide wheel treads with no problems.   You can also take a dremel tool and cut the rail right after the plastic part ends, insert and glue a piece of styrene in the gap.  Dremel/cut/file down the styrene so that wheels will pass.  The other solution is to gap and power them like electro frogs with a frog juicer or the contacts on a tortoise motor.
