Absolutely been there, and it can be super frustrating! One trick that worked for me was adding a keep alive capacitor to my DCC decoder. It really helps smooth out power dips, especially through tricky turnouts.
I also found that cleaning the frog and ensuring the turnout is level makes a big difference. Sometimes just a tiny misalignment or buildup can cause stalls.
Another fix: check your wheel pickups. Older locos might need a little tune-up or extra wipers to maintain contact through the frog.
Would love to hear what others have tried—let’s get those engines gliding through turnouts like pros!
