MTH Railking problem

I don't have an answer, but it might help to have more details on which train it is.

See if it threw a tire and it is caught in between the wheel and the body.

Railking 4-6-2 Pacific Steam Freight/Passenger, Baltimore and Ohio, Capitol Limitted With a Z21000 Transformer. Has 5036 on the front of the engine

On the box it says Item # 30-4193-1. That is all the information I have.

I have a railing pacific as well and had problems with the crank on one of the drive wheels coming looses which caused binding.  if it is loose, make sure to line it up properly. If I remember correctly, it is keyed to fit at a certain point so the two cranks are quartered.  Make sure I you tighten it well.

All good points along with making sure the enigne wheels/axles and pickup rollers are clean.  No tinsel wrapped around the axle or carpet threads.  G

After checking the thing above see if your timing tape is still around the flywheel.
