I figured someone before me had messed with it.  I took apart the entire engine.  After looking at the parts diagram from Bachmann, the motor was installed upside down.  I put it in correctly and now it is functioning normal.  Thanks for you help!

I ran the train without the top on, the power pack was in forward for all my other trains but when I ran this engine, it went in reverse.  The lights work correctly with the direction the power pack is in, when it is in forward, the front lights come on but the train drives in reverse.  Now I am even more confused.

I don't think so, the strobe lights on top are wired to it and if I turned it they would be at the wrong end.  I tried to post a picture but couldn't.

You were correct on where I acquired it.  I looked at the pictures and my light board is not attached the same way.  There are not wires connected to it, just two metal tabs that make contact with the body when the engine is put together.

I was thinking something was crossed.  I took the top off and can't figure out what I am looking at.  I don't see any wires, it looks like a circuit board almost.

I recently acquired a Bachmann Spectrum F40PH. When it runs forward, the back lights are on and when it runs backward, the front lights are on. My other engines' lights work correctly. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you for any advice.
