I had a loco that stopped like that on a curve. I removed the shell, observed the loco reach the curb and noted that there was unwanted contact between metal parts as the trucks turned to accommodae the curve. I only needed to slightly bend the metal holding the headlight bulb a little to avoid this and it never happned again. Might be worth removng the shell and seeing what happens inside.
