Disappearing locos!

[Yorkshire]

A strange phenomenon on a route I am working on. A loco pulls into the terminus and uncouples itself. I drive a new loco to the front and send the consist out on a journey. The first loco is then sent to a siding in the diesel depot. When parked in the siding, a minute later it appears to slightly jump the rails, a yellow cross appears over it and it then deletes itself. I have noticed that this behaviour seems to happen near the start of a session. If I carry out the same operation much later, it doesn't happen. I thought it might be with just certain locos but trying out several different ones, the same happens. Any ideas of what's going on? This is with build 105096. Have checked the track and it seems fine.

Thanks

Double check the track, and see if moving it, the spline points are actually connected. Seen this in a Canadian Rockies route, track looks fine but is actually broken. If nothing shows up, replace the track and lay it again. I've seen track that is joined but when driving shows as broken. Weirdness like this seems to be the norm!

Thanks for the suggestion, will give it a go.

You might also want to check the incline of the track as well, had an issue where I kept coming back to a derailment on a siding and then discovered in surveyor using the grid function that there was a slight incline causing the parked car to roll to derailment.....
