General Discussion / My Rail Truck runs the wrong way!
November 10, 2009, 12:05:35 PM
My rail truck runs in the opposite direction of my other trains when I apply power to the tracks. How do I change the polarity of the engine?? Is there a switch? Help!

The power unit does not trip off. When I ran the 3 truck shay with my other locos on the track, they kept going when the shay stopped. When I took all other trains off the track. The shay did the same thing. It abruptly stalled after going about 2 inches.

My power supply is a Bridgeworks MAG 15. Controller is an Aristocraft Train Engineer. In the past I have been able to run Five trains simultaneously on my layout with this set up. I seriously doubt the power suppy is the issue.

Large / Large Scale 3 Truck Shay with Sound WSLC #4
March 17, 2007, 05:31:10 PM
I recently received my $1200 (List price) Large Scale 3 Truck Shay Westside Lumber Company #4 with SoundTraxx sound. Imagine my disappointment when I found no user guide included with the engine. I was even more disappointed to find the CD, which contained numerous files but not info in them and.....no user guide there either.
I used the DVD to learn how to lube the engine. But ya know, if Bachmann is going to require the end user to have to do this, the least they could do is provide the lubricants or at least a starter set. After receiving this little jewel, the first thing I wanted to do was to run it on my layout. But no. I had to waite until the next day when my local hobby shop (10 miles away!) would be open to get the lubricants.
Well after going thru all that and getting the thing all lubed up, guess what? When I put power to the engine, the lights come on, the sound starts working, the engine moves about 2 inches and then IT COMES TO A COMPLETE ABRUPT STOP AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN! Good Grief. Repeated attempts resulted in the same thing. And the engine only goes forward regardless of which direction I set the polarity. Is there something wrong with my track and power supply? I don't think so. All my other bachmann engines seem to run fine on my set up.
So, if anyone out there has any bright ideas about what to try before I send this thing back, I would appreciate it.
