What kind of couplers are you using? I find that some couplers have this bouncing effect; some more than others. This might be causing you some uncoupling issues especially around curves. One option is to put a small amount of grease into the coupler boxes to prevent the bouncing or jerking effect.

If the locos are DCC it becomes much easier. Most DCC systems have methods for setting appropriate CV values to build speed-matched consists. If you are using DCC, I would refer you to the user manual.
