Second: The wheels appear to be in need of a serious cleaning and probably the contact wiper also.

Thanks Rusty...Yeah I doubt the wheels have ever been cleaned...good call!
OK, so I took your advice and here are the videos to prove it. You can see just the motor runs steady and fine although a little noisy. With the drive gear connected...it hesitates and doesn't really like it!
I am assuming the motor is fine and something is binding the drive gear?
Thanks for your help so far.
