I have a shelf layouot (17' x 25'), usually pulling 9-11 passenger cars.  Backing up around 72" curves is possible, but slow and I usually just lock my Lionel locos in forward only (especially the post war stuff).  I don't think any of my older Williams locos can do that.  The manual says that after a power loss, you have to wait 7+ seconds, then it will return to forward-neutral-reverse operation.  Any sooner than that, and it will interpret that as a marker to switch to neutral then reverse, etc.

So, is there a wiring way to bypass the electronic e-unit and just run the motors forward only?  Anybody done this?  And if so, anybody have a wiring diagram to share?  My email is [email protected] if someone has a wiring diagram for this.

Thanks!

I purchased some Williams passenger cars yesterday during the Stout auction.  I have the streamline yellow UP, but these appeared to be the madison style.  They only have number on the side, no car names.

The car numbers are:
- 2362 Baggage
- 2365 Observation
- 2363 Combine
- 2366 Coach
- 2365 Coach

If anybody has any information that could help me acquire a few more of these (I usually run 9-11 cars on my passenger trains), I would greatly appreciate it.  I bought these on a whim, thinking that they would be pretty easy to locate additional cars, but my searches since yesterday have not yielded much fruit.

Thanks,
Scott
