This probably should go into Tinplate forum. Having said that, the electro-mechanical reverse works better (sometimes only) with the cab / boiler on or with cars coupled to loco. It has to do with momentum giving the unit enough pull on the sliding reverse unit. So putting the boiler on should help... you also need some good voltage to operate properly, too low and the result is like what you are experiencing. Is your manual slider notch or hard to slide? Did you oil the cam mechanism?
