Bob, Have you frame-mounted the couplers? Consisted SD60s with talgo mounted couplers don't play well with each other or with locos with frame-mounted couplers. The loco last night was my first frame mount job and it tracked very well except over a questionable section of track.
Lionel's SD70 has only 1 sprung axle per truck - I think the leading and trailing axles. It tracks well, too, however the center wheels rides a little high with tire not making contact with the rail head.
