The last word on my 44-tonner problem. After backing the mounting screws for the worm gear assemblies off one-half turn, the performance improved from "intolerable" to "resonably good." I have run the engine on a regular "switching job" of about 1.5 hours and experienced just minor hesitation. I might add thin gaskets between the gear assembly and the frame to see if this cures the problem. By the way, after doing this, the loco was much quieter. Thanks for all the suggestions.
