This is a common problem with 0 gauge diesels, like LF says the problem is the current draw, you need to measure the stall current of the model then find a decoder with a suitable current rating.

What make is the model? There could even be a decoder specifically for that loco...

I'd recomend removing whatever cicuitry is in there and just wiring all the lighting to a 4 function decoder (front headlight, rear headlight, mars light, and a spare, or maybe add some ditch lights or something), Digitrax decoders can be set to create the mars light effect, I can't speak for Lenz decoders, but I would think they can do the same.
