Problem with Celebration 2341 on Fastrack 036 Switches

Hello,
I am new here and hoping to receive information about a problem
that I am having. I have a like new 2341 Celebration 2341 FM
Trainmaster. It sparks or resets while crossing over 036
switches. It happens all the time on straight sections or the
curve sections. I have 14 switches on my layout, some have just
straight tracks on either side of the switch. I wrote to
Lionel's Service center, but I am not satisfied with their
answer. They claim I need larger rollers. My guess is that
smaller rollers are needed. Strange thing about this
Trainmaster. Unlike older Lionel Trainmaster engines, the
flanged wheels are the 1st and 3rd. Older postwar Trainmaster
engines have the flanged wheels as the 1st and 2nd. The non
flanged wheel is the 3rd set. I think my problem is with the new
design. Does anyone have experience with this type of problem?
