Can you program a PS/2 engine to start in reverse instead of forward and will it retain that setting when running inconventional?

yes as far as I know but why would you want that, you can also lock it in that direction only as well! if you can't start it in reverse you could always switch the yellow and white wires on the motor and that would start it up in reverse as long as you know how to soldier on the motor wires!

Swapping motor leads only fixes half the issue, the lights would be wrong for the direction.
Why not start with the exact model of MTH locomotive you're talking about?
John,
I was talking about any PS/2 diesel. I thought that some settings changed while running DCS stayed with the engine eveb if you run it conventional later. That's why I ask you guys who have more experience with the system.

I do not think that is true for a starting direction, like in a lashup. I guess you can try it and see if it works. Maybe Barry can weigh in. G
