P2K locos do have a lot of play in the drive line. Some thrust washers on either side of each worm will help a lot. As it rolls down hill, it gets ahead of the motor and binds u, then the motor turns and unboinds it, then it runs ahead agein - over and over. I used ot have some Woodland Scenics inclines to test grades before I built anything, and my P2K locos, particuarly the Geeps. had a heck of a time going downill.
