I can't help you if you have an electrical problem,but clean driver/tender pick-up wheels are mandatory. Take an old T-shirt section, lay it over the track, and pour cleaning solution on the T-shirt and roll the tender over the wet t-shirt, back & forth. Turn your loco over, wheels in the air,connect aligator wired clips to the track and on the opposite end of the wire, strip back the insulation. Touch the bear end wires to the power drivers, power up the throttle, and hopefully the wheels will spin. If so, then also apply the wet t-shirt/cleaner with your index finger to the spinning loco wheels. If this all works, you should have excellent rail contact. Here's a clean rail/wheel site, six pages of hints, http://www.ttx-dcc.com/technews/clean_machine.htm
