Hey Guys,
I have a Right-of-Way (ROW) PRR T1 loco with some electrical issues. First off, I can't get the engine to reverse or go forward unless I completely cut off power - as in unplug the power supply then replug it in. If I just turn down the power all the way (I'm using Lionel 80W power) the loco will only continue in the same direction. I have tried a different power supply and still get the same issues. The other thing that just started happening is the bell is constantly on, even if I turn the sound switch off. All the lighting works fine and the engine runs well once it gets going but changing direction and controlling sound seems to be problematic. I also notice the smoke unit does not work.
I understand this loco no longer has available spare parts but I wonder if anyone has done any adaptations or work-arounds to make the loco work well.
And does anyone have a manual that they could scan?
Thanks. Roger
