Cleaned Locomotive And Track

Michael needs some advice from those with experience in the hobby:

“My diesel locomotive was recently cleaned at the local shop. I also cleaned the tracks at home. After an hour of running smoothly the locomotive started to hesitate and eventually kept bucking. At one point it just stopped running. Can anyone advise me as what to do with this?”
