Welcome Bill,

I'm not in N scale, but something that relates to all scales, watch very closely as the flanges of the car make their way through the turnouts, and see if you can spot what is going wrong.

Try running the car through the crossovers as slow as you can while doing this.

I'm sure you will be able to see what is hanging up, and where.

Mike.

My little "sugar" car works great with the CMX pad.  I have about 12' of hidden track, so the good ole' armstrong cleaner can't get everywhere.

Mike, to each his own.  Yeah, the CMX car is on the pricey side, but for me it is worth it.  If your set up works...then great!
