I am attempting to service my 1960s Lionel 2615 0-4-0 engine's motor. It has been disassembled, cleaned the wheels, roller pickups, reversing unit, motor brushes, polished the rotor, lubed gears and shaft,and reassembled, leaving off the shell to test operation before full assembly. It had troubles getting going  at all iuntil I gave it a bit of a nudge. Then it worked great in reverse but sputtered and stammered trying to go forwards. I wanted to shoot a video, so I stopped to set up the tripod. Now it does not even try to go in either direction, although I can see the reversing mechanism going up and down easily. See the attached video. I have tried moving the slide switch on top from position to position to no avail. It seems like it may be due to old wiring shorting out somewhere. Any suggestions?
