I have one and mine doesn't seem to have the jack-rabbit start problem. However, I am of the opinion that most steam locomotives are not geared low enough. It's not because they need more pulling power, it's that they do not have enough low speed. Have you looked to see if NWSL has a re-gear kit for this loco? It may be worth a try to email them and ask what they might recommend. Also, when you install DCC, you will be able to adjust CVs for engine start, mid and high end voltage which might help.
