I had a perhaps similar problem with an old Athearn loco a long time ago. Sometimes it would start up just fine. Other times it would just sit there, but the headlight would be on and extremely bright. Seemed to me like there must have been a short in there somewhere. I tore that thing down about five times and never did solve the problem.
