I think the problem may be the 15" radius curve rather than the locomotives. 15" is very tight,even for a 2-8-0. If you can, set up a test curve of larger radius, say 22", and see how they perform through it. If the curve is too sharp, the loco's drivers will bind against the rails and slow down, stop or derail. With the IHC locomotives' deep flanges on the wheels, they are unlikely to derail, just bind and slow way down. Hope this helps.
