I found out the hard way :o

I haven't found that, John - I've actually managed to get across the traverser whilst still under slow power. However, the loco does look very precarious!

I'll try it with brakes next time.

The physics for the moving rails as part of the traverser and turntable are a bit off, to be sure. It looks like they are moving around a "static world" collision object, rather than having a "dynamic world" object that can be moved naturally by applying forces to it. Or it could just be another rubber-banding artifact, writ large.

...is it my imagination or does the class 03 have cab sway and bounce? It certainly seems to and really is quite immersive. Actually feels like driving a clanking old engine.
No it`s probally down to the reason you gave for buying it !!!! ( The Whisky and Beer (real Ale I presume !!))

It was this morning - on coffee and hangover - that I noticed the bob and sway :D There is definitely movement present that I haven't seen on other engines.

Something to do with the cab being so far outside the wheelbase? ( I don't have it to look at it ).
My posts are my opinion, and should be read as such.
