I have an IHC Pacific with the same problem. It seemed worse after I installed a decoder. I do not believe it is related to electrical pickup. It may be something binding in the drivetrain or, as was suggested, a flat spot in the motor. I have run it at high speed quite a bit, giving it a nudge when needed, and it is improving. I had it running quite smoothly in reverse, even at slow speed. <br /> <br />I also had a mogul which ran beautifully but suddenly developed a problem. I wondered if it was because I had parked it over a large under-the -track magnet for some time. When I traded it in at my LHS, we discovered that it was shorting somehow, causing other engines on the track to stop also.
