Trix (UK) solved the derailing decades ago by producing a universal point that would allow course and fine scale wheels to run through without derailing or stalling.

Possible solutions:

1) Buy old second hand points which have deeper frogs.

2) Grind down the rims of the offending wheels (I have done this on one old Triang loco).
(Very slow and tedious if you can’t remove the wheels.)

3) Examine the points under good magnification to see if it is possible to deepen the frog slots without destroying them. Try using a dremel fitted with a thin grinding disk or circular saw blade (depending on whether you need to remove metal or plastic).
