MTH PCC trolley

Bill,

When operating with a bcr, you have to turn on your transformer to 12 volts or less and charge the bcr for 60 seconds before trying to run in forward.

It could be the end of the road!?  Any time you see a white battery throw it out!  Put in a new MTH green battery but make sure you charge it first.  If I buy an engine from anyone I don't put any voltage to it before I do that. How do I know you ask? Because I've learned the hard way!   Hopefully the board isn't cooked.    Good luck.

Might be the end of the road for this trolley. If I wire the motor and lights directly to track power will it move in one direction and light up.  Thanks, Bill Makel

I wouldn't call the scrappers yet! While sound might be more than you want to invest, an inexpensive electronic E-unit will give you both direction operation. A diode will give you one direction operation!

If you list it on the forum for what you paid for it, I bet you'll quickly sell it.
