Hi Sean, and 
to the Big Blue Trains Forum!
A friend, also a Member here, has a couple of those locomotives, and I've worked on both of them.
Until you receive it, though, it's not going to help much, speculating on what the problem might be. I can think of several causes, but all would be fairly simple fixes.
When it shows up, remove the boiler/cab assembly and post some more photos, specifically of the motor's driveshaft to worm-shaft connection, and if we can't see anything wrong there, I'll give you a few other photo requests.
Those locomotives are generally nice runners, and I'd guess that I may have been sitting for a while, so there'll be several things to inspect.
