Here's the latest ... I've now had a new traction tire added to one of the loco's drive wheels & as well as a new coupler (replacing the damaged one).
The loco now runs much better. However, you were all right -- I have to place a freight car having a body-mounted coupler behind the engine. This now (for some reason!) applies to both ends of the loco. If the loco hauls a freight car with a body-mounted coupler, everything is fine but if it hauls a truck-mounted coupler, the freight car derails.
Otherwise, it's running great now, even at low speeds, so I'll have to have a few running sessions with it.
Thanks, Rob
