Has anyone got a problem with this engine?  Mine jumps the track insistently and I get the distinct feeling that occasionally the running gear hit the ties (O gauge Lionel   31" radii) on the curves,  The engine will appear to be running fine and suddenly it will tip itself over to the side (SLIGHTLY).  I can run it over the same section of track 30 time or more with no problem.  But then I run to another curve and the same thing appears to happen again

Are you saying the valve gear is possibly hitting the ties? If so, check that all the screws are tight holding the valve gear to the wheels.
