   Right on Jeffery.
  I bent the switch rail very little to keep tight to the outer when going into the curve and all works well. Have done this to the six I am using and all okay. Isn't great to have to rework the stuff you buy so it'll do what it is supposed to do !!!!!!!

  I have to agree with you siemer, I have eight and none of them work properly. They all cause derailment in the turn position. Bachman should be checking on their quality and replacing all the defective ones.

  The derailment happens with any car behind any of the two locos that I have. They are the complete units you buy at the local hobby store. This happen with both E-Z, black and grey,. When the loco goes past the switch it causes the switched rail to move ever so slightly that the following car goes straight rather than follow the curve. These are HO units.  Does the switch need to have a straight track following? As I have a curve going in the oppisite direction right after the switch.

 I am having a problem with the switches. As the loco goes across the switch in the non straight position it kicks the rail enough to derail the following car. It does this on all the E-Z switches I have installed. In the straight on position all okay. Any ideas?
