Another idea - something I've heard of when converting a Hornby 9F 2-10-0 steamer to loco drive (as delivered, they're tender drive, but there's a company that will mill a slot in the frames and install a motor in the loco). I recall reading an article by the designer of the conversion in which he explained the work involved. He found that the converted loco had a similar problem to begin with, in this case as the lead 2-wheel truck was rubbing against the mainframe and lifting the lead driving wheels off the rails when climbing grades - might be worth checking if this is the case.
