I've solved 90% of my Bachmann trunout problems by using a Dremel tool with a pointed diamond bit to cut off the lower portion of the rail were the points meet main rail. It seems , at least to me that there is too much up and down play on the points and they seem to hit that lower portion of the rail and than stop rather than climbing up over it. Moving the points by hand has more force then the switch machine. I even sometimes cut a little of the inside of the rail to male a small pocket just like the Atlas turnouts.
