Presumably, all the variations are due to wear-and-tear more than inherent issues. After all, flues plug up, requiring more fire to make steam, grates wear and drop coal or don't allow air into parts of the fire, etc.

Rougher/smoother rides could come from "didn't put things back the same way as last time", or just wear -- after all springs and bushings are a big part of ride quality.
