Turnout Hangups

Just got new remote right hand turnout for EZ track, my loco (4-8-4 Northern Steam) hangs up at the rear at slower speeds.  I tightened the screw on the back wheels to try and raise, but still hanging up.  There's a screw in the center of the turnout that might be the problem, but it doesn't seem to want to move.  Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience and how'd you fix it ?

I've not had that problem with any of the Northern 4-8-4's that I own/owned.
I would check both wheel and track gauge first and correct as necessary.
After that, if the 'hang-up' continues, I'd get my eyes down close and try to see what it is, that is causing it.

Good luck.

Thanks!
I've tried a few things and seems to be working better - but still working thru a new bumps. . .
