Well, after some more testing, I’ve come to the conclusion there must be something creating a voltage loss in the call-in signal/voltage to the relays after I press the direction button on the transformer to switch directions. When I used my multimeter to check continuity on the forward and reverse triacs, the meter closed the circuit and the loco ran forward and reverse with full sounds. I’m wondering if the transformer (CW-80) has anything to do with it? Low initial voltage somehow causing the e-unit to malfunction and relays to chatter? I dunno. I’ll have to look at it again tomorrow.
