cplmckenzieWell, after looking into some of you guys suggestions. I decided not to mess with rewiring the loco in question. I will just use it as my Yard Shifter loco, which needs to run opposite all the others anyway.(running against all spur turnouts for shifting cars to make an outbound train).
Which way the wire pickup on the locomotive has nothing to do with running against the spurs..
Do as you wish but,I would fix the problem.

I know this is an old thread and possibly answered but i didnt see an end solution in the string. I had this problem recently and what worked for me was switching the trucks to the opposite ends. likely someone had it apart at some time and did not put it back together correctly.
