I have the Cargo train 60052, it's only around a year old and lately I've found on starting it (on both straight and curved track pieces) it isn't moving, the wheels seem to skid on the tracks and I have to give it a little nudge to get it going, even then it tends to stop further down.

I'm wondering if this is an issue with the tracks or the wheels?

I have taken them off and tried wiping them and 'rotating' them but no luck. I have looked online but haven't found any resolution, can anyone help me? :)

    Can you check if the motor bogie's wheels still have rubber bands on them? These bands are giving the train traction - you might want to either clean the wheels or find new rubber bands to put around the wheel to see if this helps. – Phil B. Dec 26 '15 at 14:14

Replace or reset the rubber bands on the wheels. This trick works on the 80s era trains so should work here too.

    If you can't find any LEGO rubber bands, normal hair rubber bands will work too - cosmetic stores sell a bunch of different sizes to choose from! – Nita Sep 21 '17 at 07:32
