An observation from a complete non technical expert: it is hard to see how direction of travel can be a major factor in excess or unexpected wear because tank engines do it all the time. What may be an issue is being towed or pushed at speed over large distances or for long periods of time. In preservation that seems to happen quite a lot, both for repositioning and top and tailing where turning facilities are lacking. The internal mechanics of a steam engine are presumably designed around it being self propelled, and there may be stresses where the motion is being forced to operate at speeds incompatible with the pressures of steam generated within its cylinders. I understand that apart from low speed shunts around depots, locomotives are always in steam when they are towed around; there must be a reason for that.
