First I have to say it's the third train we buy and the 1st and 2nd train they don't have this problem. The thing is with the locomotive of the farm set it keep getting stuck in the turns or derails when the rail sequence make an S shape ,it make the train completely useless. Is there something I can do to make it run good or there is something wrong with locomotive .

On occasion, even my heavy locomotives stop or don't want to go without a nudge forward or side to side. After running a little, they are fine. I noticed this mostly with my new MS2, and CS3 controller and not my older 6021 digital controller. That uses a conventional transformer and the new ones use switched mode power supplies. I don't know why this is. Certain decoders of the older mm fx type start running cold on the 6021, and need a warm up with the newer system. Mfx decoders seem to be the exception in my experience.

You didn't check what set it is - it happens to be one of the battery sets, so most of the above info is irrelevant. However seems it is now running.
