I wouldn't hit it with the ten pound sledge hammer......
Whole Bachmann J class locos sell better on eBay then one in pieces.
All kidding aside.
Check the wheels on the tender and see if they are in gage. Also check the tender trucks and see if they swivel freely. Check thhe drawbar also, and see if that isn't stiff, and move freely.There also might be wires from the tender(I'm assuming the decoder is in the tender), might be binding up when hitting the curves.
Just a couple of suggestions, and easy fixes.
