I had a similar problem with this model. Problem was in going through turnouts - in some cases, even when lined for the straight route. (My minimum radius at the time was 22"; I never had problems on curves). I was unable to find a direct replacement metal wheelset because of the rather unusual mounting arrangement. I wrapped some lead putty around the axle (using solder is a great idea which I will have to remember) and it alleviated but did not eliminate the problem. A better solution would be replacement with metal wheelset but you're looking at making some serious and permanent modifications.
