Well, first thing you want to do is make sure that the wheels on the loco and rail are cleaned and that your engine is properly luibricated. If you are still having a problem, i would check the loco's wheels to see if perhaps one set was inverted. Some locos factory wheels can be reversed accidentally when they are removed for whatever reason, causing a short. What you may want to do is to hold the Positive and negative leads right from your power pack directly to alternating wheels on the loco to test that , if you dont have a meter to test with.
