"usually on curves the light weight cars tend to pull inward on the curves"

It's called "stringlining" or "string lining", and can happen (very rarely does) on real railroads for the same reason. A real train is usually not assembled with a lot of light or empty cars toward the front; we see this issue in model trains, too. It's realistic to keep these car weights in mind.
