I am moving on on my new layout.
This comprises of some Peco and Hornby Track with rolling stock of some 20 years old though the track is more modern and the points are new.
The problem is that on the points the carriages jump the radius (wheels jump) on turning from straight to curve.
The Track bed is 90% level some slight depressions. But looking at eye level across the track you can see a slight depression on the line between the two points.
The straight line no problems but asking to curve from one line to the next the carriage bogies will jump the line.
I have put in approx centre of the point a screwdriver blade to lift the points at the curve part but does not work.
Is it the rolling stock is older than newer points or am I doing something wrong known by others he have laid track many times that points are a pain.
