Welcome Robert!
I can’t help but I’m sure our crew here certainly can …
It could be one or more wheelsets reversed. Try to notice if they rotate in the same direction. If same direction, the second pickup section is broken. It sounds like something inside, though, like a loose/broken pickup wire.
Try dropping it from around 3 feet, that may solve the problem.
I just had 2 diesels at a show that ran away from each other, or towards each other. Hmm, one of these is wired opposite of the other. oh well, another Wintertime project!
Good luck! No wait —don’t drop it. That’s for when the can opener doesn’t work.
The Aristo bricks have two sets of leads. One from the power pick-ups one from the motor. The motor one could have simply become dislodged.
