Ken,

Could the clearance volume be too small? In other words, does one or other 
piston clout the front cover when the suspension is compressed (or even when 
the piston rod expands when under steam)? Does the loco always stop in the 
same position? Can you try packing the axle boxes so that the suspension is 
compressed slightly, and running on air? Look for clues in whether it stops 
suddenly or starts to drag as the springs are compressed.
