Title: Williams E60 Locomotive - Disable Direction
Post by: jchausmann on September 18, 2026, 10:29:24 PM
Hi - I recently purchased a Williams E60 locomotive (New Have #960), and I need some advice.  The unit goes through directions (forward / pause / reverse / pause) when power is applied.  Is there a way to disable this?  I'm pairing it with an SD40 that only runs forward.  I'm not seeing any switches on the underside that would allow me to do this.
Thanks!
Have a great weekend!

671 here,

Yes it can be wired to go only forward.

See the June 11 2026 posting "Can a dual motor .... be wired to only go forward"
I wired a disabled older SD 45 with a faulty motor control circuit board many years ago. It is still working well.

                        Good luck ... 671
