Maybe after running some errands I will take a shot at another AF streamliner. Have three others
at least that all have probs with the reversing units. I have one aluminum zephyr that has the
switch underneath so you actually have to disconnect the loco from the train to reverse it.
Pointless, but I think reversing was a big marketing deal back in the 30's. I think Flyer copied
lionel's, but got sued for it, so they came up with lots of bizarre ways to reverse trains. I never
saw the point of reversing the streamliners anyway, they barely stay on the track going forward.
I think the best solution may be to wire around the reversing units and just make the
trains run forward.
