Hi was woundering if anybody eles is having problemes with the lionchief plus unites moving forwards only even when you dial up revere. Iv checked motors and they will run fine both directions fine when you change boards motor plug around . So im thinking its boards e unit. All plugs are in place and look in good order. If its the board lionel doesn't have one for the gp2050 ... can i use the rs3 lionchief plus board instead as they do stock that... thanks...

Look on the bottom. Some units have a switch to lock it in one direction. You may have accidentally bumped it.
There is no directional switch per the 6-82171 Owner's Manual on this unit. If you run it using transformer control will it go in both directions? If yes, then maybe the remote is bad (forward/reverse switch). If it still is forward only on transformer then that points inside the locomotive to the main circuit board which you noted is not currently showing available.
Tried to run conventional and tried my universal remote but still the same only forwards, has any one else seen this behavior? If it is the board will any lionchief plus diesel engine board work.? Looks to me like the rs3 lionchief plus has a board from lionel. Thanks...
Since Lionel is consolidating everything to 1 PCB, the sounds (engine, horn, announcements) are specific to the board. If you swap boards you are swapping sounds too.
Be nice to get the correct board but the rs3 sounds are close enough for me if i have too. More hoping the board is physically the same so all plugs in. Ill have to use the universal remote for operation or conventionally. Thanks
