Lionel engine hesitation

I have a Lionel 6-34501 (Southern "4102") that I bought used on eBay. When running in on my layout (Super O, Conventional Transformer), the engine hesitates for 3 seconds before it starts moving forward after power is applied. After this initial delay, the unit does not delay when using the direction control. I have tried flipping the "lock" with under the engine, but of course this allows it to run in one direction only. Does anyone know what could cause this?
Thank you (I'm a brand new member to this forum).
