Happy New year everyone,
I wonder if anyone can help with my problem. Thanks
I was running the above today with its usual load of 21 PFE Reefers when it started to hesitate and jerk. It made it round to where i was and I thought "derailment" - but no and nothing tripped out.
I decided to inspect the engine and removed the boiler - nothing obvious - re seated the radio board, checked other connections - no broken wires that I can see. Fired it up again and class lights/head light flashed as if intermittent power. Stopped - checked again and then did a full re-set as per manual.
I now have an engine that will run forward with all features from power up but will not reverse. I have full sound whilst in reverse setting but no go
Once you hit the direction button no movement backwards , if you hit it again no movement forwards - it seems that if I power down completely I can regain forward motion but that's all.
While all this is going on all sounds and smoke are fine.
I am running TMCC cab1 - and other TMCC engines on my other track run fine
HELP - any ideas please? - there are no dealers this side of the pond!!
Thanks
MIKE (In England)

second this engine has 2 motors in it, Do you have any rollers to check if this is happening on both sets of drivers? Another thing to try is resetting the engine by reprogramming it and also check if the same behavior happens when running conventionally.
