    If it works better when you twist the loco or put a little pressure on it, then. Open up the area with the pick-ups. Make sure the wire is connected well. I then strip some wire from a scart lead (the fine wire not the thicker one.) Lay it across the stub on the chassis pick-up. Put it back together. You should have 2 or 3 fine copper wires between the stub and the copper contact. This corrects the problem. Well it has for me.

    I have had the same problem. I found that my loco would hardly move without the tender. Upon servicing I saw the wire to one side of the pickups was almost broke. only one thin strand connected. So I replaced the contacts as they have a wire on the the new one. This improved things slightly, it is still very slow unless I held down the loco or turned it slightly. I'm still at a loss for this.
