I'll add this Mantua Friends of the NRA Express set to this weeks offering. I've seen the set before but have not seen any individual set items for sale on eBay.

Here my set of Tyco coaches and MU-2 F-unit. Sadly. it's a disappointment. Has a hard time pulling it. Used my PT f-unit, lot better:
A MU-2 unit shouldn't have a problem pulling three cars Have you checked the traction tires? Sometimes they get greasy and no longer stick to the rails.
Some nice sets here

I noticed the wheels are real dirty. I'll clean them and give it a try once more. " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

Is that unit have one or two powered trucks? If it has two make sure they are both running at the same speed. Also check that it is not shorting out intermittently.
Most likely I would bet on dirty wheels as previously said.
