Issue with 4-8-4 Northern and EZ Track turnout.

[Dave_W6DPS]

I have a 4-8-4 Northern, from the Empire Builder set.  I have one EZ Track turnout that it has an issue with.  It won't back around the curved position of the turnout.

The locomotive wheels are in gauge, and I can't see anything wrong with the turnout.

With the turnout going straight it does fine, both forward and reverse.

With the turnout selected to the turn, it will go over forward in both directions, but consistently derails the leading and/or forward truck when backing around it to the curve.

None of my other rolling stock has any problems with this turnout, in either direction.

Any "tuning" on the turnout or locomotive that anyone can suggest?

Thanks!

I resolved my problems by forming the guard rails closer to the outer track. I used a pair or electricians pliers and gently squeezed the guard rail and the track so the guard rail was closer to the track. Don't over do it or you could break off the guard rail.
