You know how you have to power the Stationary decoders with an AC power supply as you do with the switches? Well I also had the same problem that you are having that they did not SNAP over good enough and sometimes cause derails. I needed more power to cause this. SO I called Loys Toys (advice from someone else) and the guy on the phone told me I need a better power supply because I was using a cheap Life like power supply just for the switches. He recommended that I buy his Ac supply that was the same voltage at 18v but it has a higher ohm. I have to tell you. I hooked it up with no good expectations but as soon as I hit a switched (BOOM) it went over with a SNAP. The ac supply cost me only $12 call him with your problem and he will hook you up. He may recommend you get one of those capacitor discharge units. Call someone, anyone and get it right dawg. Luck
