I have two Bachmann F7A-B units, regular DC (no decoders, etc.) I want to make up an ABBA set.
Can I change some wiring in the trailing B-A unit to make it run in "reverse?" That is, to pull in the same forward direction as the leading A-B unit. This is for a primarily static display of the GN Empire Builder. I may take it and some of the consist (upwards of 18-20 cars) to visit friends' layouts. Thanks for advice.
Another question...on the F7 A units, just in front of the windshield, there are some black strips, parallel to the track. Are these anti-slip textured areas (like on boat decks) or something else? It seems they might be safety step-zones for crew cleaning the windshield or similar task.
Regards, Bill
