Glad to hear you got your trains running better now.

Lockons can be installed on either straight or curved track, as long as the lockon and track are clean and free of corrosion.

A wire would be needed only if the connection between the rivet and metal were bad.

If your train stalls at the lockon, replace the lockon.
