I have a H0 tender locomotive that weighs about the same as the Oxford Dean goods, yet I am able to pull longer trains up a 1 in 40 grade on a 760mm radius curve. I suspect the tender is like most UK 00 models, with inside bearings. My guess is the tender probably rolls like a brick. Try removing weight from your tender. The tender should be designed with pin point bearings, just like most 00 wagons. It sounds like the reported rough running is probably a poorly set up factory DCC decoder.

I'm not sure where I got the rough running from, may be another persons post. For a DC track powered model you are getting excellent running and I appreciate your videos.
