The Armature or Field windings of the motor may have a open or it could be a loose solder joint on the commutator. This is one of those situations where it has to be looked at to find the problem. If you go to Dr.Tinker's Toy Train Website and explain to him what is happening he should be able to help you out. The other thing for you to do is to take a whistle tender that you know will work each and every time and try all three Transformers to make sure that their whistle Diodes are not going bad. See what happens then. Good Luck.
