The issue is caused by corrosion, dust, oil residues and it disappears by magic if you use your trains enough. Each loco and train must run on each track at least a few hours per week. Then it runs like a charm. In the mean time, one must clean the tracks (a wooden block cleans and polish the track) and the locos (wheels, sliders, axles) so that a good contact can be maintained.

Some decoders forget settings like direction and speed step when they are without power for a longer time. Which type of decoders do your "problem locos" have? Maybe resistors can help.
