If it is one locomotive having problems - more than likely it is a wheelset out of gauge. Get an NMRA gauge and check. If it turns out the wheels are in gauge, then check the gauge of the track at that spot. Is this spot of track on a curve, near a rail joint, on a grade, or near a switch?
Most of my derailments can be traced to wheelsets out of gauge. In the past I have had problems with putting too sharp of curves on grades or abrupt transitions that caused some trackability problems.
