 The first thing you should do is check, whether the turnout is in gauge - get a NMRA gauge to do this. Then check, whether the wheels of your locos are in gauge, also using the NMRA gauge. If both turnout or wheelsets are not in gauge, a little tweaking will help.It seems to me, that the wheels on the trailing truck of your loco "climb" the rails in the turnout. Aside from wheels or turnout being out of gauge, the cause could also be flanges, which are to deep or to thick. Watch closely, what the loco is doing, when it slowly moves over the turnout, to determine, exactly where the cause is.
