Roger:
You are correct that the streetcar does not return to forward as quickly as wanted. I was trying to use the streetcars where they would stop automatically at a station and then resume the forward motion as soon as the next streetcar started to arrive. The next car would arrive about 12-15 seconds after the first one stopped which would not allow the unit to cycle back to forward.
Bachmann said they use a different type reversing unit on the streetcar than on the locos.

Thanks for the info. I am running just a simple loop of track. If I knew where the reverser board was located and what a dioode bridge is I would make the changed. Guess I will have to live with what I have

I have two streetcars and they both act the same. I have remove one of the power wires from the transformer and the cars still act the same. There is nothing else hooked up to the track. No lighted power lock-on, no switches etc. I have tested the cars on several different sets of track and they always act the same. I also ran the streetcars on an isolated test track with its own transformer. Same results
Not sure I fully understand the comments by Joe Satnik, but if all new streetcars act the way mine do I guess there is nothing else I can do.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments

Thank you fr your suggestions. I checked it out. I get no voltage either at the transformer or on the track. Anyother suggestions

I have two Peter Witt Streetcar. Information furnished with car states that reversing unit will automatically go to forward when power is off for about seven seconds. My units do not do this. It takes about 25 - 30 seconds for this to happen. Is there something wrong with my units or can I adjust the time somehow?
