I may just give that a try.  If that doesn't work, I can always replace it with the "new" reversing board.

In the instructions, it shows a bit of the type of relays that are being used (K1 and K2).  Is it possible to simply either remove the connection to the coil that triggers it?  And if one or both of the motors turn in the wrong direction, to simply reverse the polarity going to the motor?

Thanks for the link.  I didn't know that they had a new board that was a drop in replacement.

Are this particular cars very difficult to find?  I have not seen any of this color on eBay or anywhere for that matter.  I bought a set of 5 from Stout, but would like to add a few more coaches to the mix, even if they are the same car number.

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
