Try using func_tracktrain instead of tanktrain. I'm not sure what tanktrain is really meant for, but tracktrain is far less buggy and probably what you want to use.

func_tracktrain is a brush entity available in all Source games. It functions as a moving platform that the player can ride. It follows a path of path_track entities.
Protip: Check the fixed orientation flag on the tracktrain itself.

Say you make 2 of 'em. Naming one <point A> and one <point b> in the keyvalues of point A you should see something to the effect of "destination".

'OnPass' output from a path_track.
