Is there a good source of info on what to do about derailment problems or is this the best place to go? I'm having a problem with one particular train. LGB passenger cars of the older "alpine" series. Should I try adding weight to the cars? should I try silicone lube on the axles? Any advise appreciated!

Check back to back wheel spacing to make sure its correct and not tight or wide gage.
If all the other trains work fine, then it has to be something about these cars. I suspect the wheels - probably one axle has a pair of wheels that are too far apart. Compare all the back-to-back of the wheels on all the cars of that train and see if one is out of spec.
