I also just had this issue with a GP20 LC Plus engine on a 036 switch. It only occurred coming into the switch. The switch was located coming out of a 036 curve. I put a piece of straight track between the curve and switch and also performed the adjustment as noted above on the you tube video. It appears I have solved the problem as it has not derailed since. This was a left hand switch and only had problems with this one engine. I have right hand switches installed in curves without issues so I don't know why. This occurred with two left hand switches in this same location because I thought it might be the switch. Hope this helps.

Thanks I have tried this and sent the switch back to Lionel. No luck. Seems to be a problem with others too

I just bought two lion chief plus diesels. One Santa Fe and one Union Pacific GP. Love the trains but am so frustrated as each time they go into a fast track 036 curve the front truck goes into the curve fine while back truck wants to go straight and details. Lionel says not heard of this problem. Sent a smitch to them and sent it back and told me to grind the frog? Switch is a few months old and not sure why I would do this. Anybody have this problem? Thanks for the help
