One word: Turnouts I'm not exactly sure why I don't have better luck with turnouts. Might be a little ballast that is interfering, or if a turnout is not on a completely flat spot. But overall not that big of a problem. I only have two turnouts where this is a concern and they both run with the flow of general traffic. Another cause of derailments though is cars uncoupling. While rare, it has happened a few times and while you're whistling away maybe not paying 100% attention, they uncouple and along comes another train (love DCC!) and WHAM!!! Even better, on grade and the cars start rolling backwards downhill and WHAM!!! Jawbone
