derailment problems

Are the derailments at random locations or site-specific, such as at a particular track joint or crossover? See if you can pinpoint where they are occurring on the layout. This may give you a clue as to a joint out of alignment or a high spot that is causing the couplers to lift apart. I found it helpful to keep a log of locations. I used a diagram of the layout, mark each derail with a little red x or whatever. After a short time simply count up the marks and see where most of them are occurring. You'll soon see a pattern if there is one.
