I had a bit of a search but couldn't find any mention of this problem.

Basically, because the cowcatcher is so close to the track, I find it • scrapes
going over small valleys in the track, creating an annoying "squeak". Has • anyone
else noticed this?

Yes.  In fact, it was noted to Jake at BrickFest last year when we were
shown the prototype.  I had to take them off my copies of 10133 when we had
our mall layout as the cow catcher would cause the train to derail when it
would catch in places the track wasn't level.
