LGB 2090 Köf D10

My D10 is in need of a serious update. I got it 'well done used' and indeed it has a couple of issues.
Power pickup from the tracks is rather poor and reversing is not it's favourite activity.

So I took it apart to see the inner gear work and oh yes, a worn gear, very badly worn. I switched front / rear wheels (and thus gears) for the time being and that helped a little, reversing is now something that he's a little bit more happy to do. Cleaning out all the VERY dried out grease did wonders as well. (pick below from before situation)

But power pickup from the tracks is still very poor. I haven't really measured conductivity from the wheels yet (wheel/brush/motor), but I spotted this rubber 'traction' band around one of the wheels. This will certainly NOT help conductivity! As the wheels are not 'flat', but have a slight degree, contact with the rails is only in the corners between wheel & flange. And that's where this rubber band is situated!

So I'm curious to know if this is a design flaw or something common use from LGB? My VERY old 2050 Fiery Elias Howler howls around the track very happily without the extra power pickups... At any speed, at any type of track and at any point... I expected this more modern loco to be even more reliable...

Worth investing new parts?

The rubber traction tyre is common on a lot of LGB locos, Henri, to give them extra grip and allow them to handle gradients. As your line is pretty much flat and level, and you'll be running mostly short trains, your need for them is very much reduced. I would think that your little Kof would benefit greatly from a new set of wheels/axles/gears, especially if you can get a set that doesn't have the traction tyre.
