Like said before, these trains are very cheaply made, and considering they are almost 20 years old, they won't perform up to standard. You got lucky with your Gordon to have the speed it does, all the ones I've seen (including mine) run like snails.
As for how you can fix it, I really wouldn't meddle with the insides without Ripley802's assistance.
