Ok, that's as it should be.
The slowing in a curve could be the wheel flanges rubbing against the rails on steamers if you have small diameter curves.
It could also be a voltage drop under load (engine on and running) due to track connections.
Run the engine that slows in the curve and try to measure the voltage behind it as it passes and perhaps in front of it as it approaches.
Let us if you have a drop in voltage and what reading you get.
