One other thing I've had problems with: the top edge of the points need to be even with the top edge of the rail. Sometimes in my zeal to file the points to a knife edge, I accidentally take some off the top. This makes it easy for the wheel to go over the top of the point, in which case the car will tend to go down the straight route however the switch is set.

Check for flatness of turnout. Check for points properly feathered (thinned to zero) at the tips of the points. Check for proper nestling of the points against the stock rails. Make sure you have a slight kink in the divergent stock rail about 1/8" ahead of the tip of the point. > Yahoo!
