I have had similar problems and usually cleaning the tracks with alchol does the trick. I have also noticed that tempertature and humidity have an effect. I live in the desert and on cold winter days my layouts just don't work as well as on hot summer days. Also I have noticed that if you run your layout a lot the problem deminishes. Also I lube the locomotive wheels with conductive oil and have found that that makes a BIG difference.
