One consideration to take is the radius of your curve. Event though Lionel says minimum 036, these are long locomotives and opening up the radius to 054 might make a difference. Another suggestion is how large of a loop of track are you using, as power can fade the longer the distance from a power source. I have a 5x9 layout and use two power 'drops' on the layout, as I noticed early on some of my locos would slow down and not run as smooth at the far end. Once I did the second power connection there were no issues.
