Thanks for the info guys.

I successfully modified one board but the soldering was not easy.  I seemed to have several versions of the reversing board.  On one engine it worked for two cycles and them stopped.  On the second engine I must have shorted out at the resistors because I created a realistic smoking diesel.  I ended up going with  the rectifier and it was easy.  My only problem is that between the two local Radio Shacks I could only get two rectifiers.  They were 400v, 8 amps and only $2.99 each/

Williams by Bachmann / Lock engine in forward direction
December 03, 2012, 03:24:37 PM
Hi
We have 10 Williams engines we will be using on a museum layout and need to lock the engines in forward direction.
1) I have the diagram for locking the engine in forward.  I am unable to remove the board since the holding screw does not back out.  My board looks like the revision board but I do not see a marking that  tells me it is a revision 4.  Where do I find that?

2)  If I do not want to use the optional switch shown in the diagram which two wires do I connect?

3)  If I want to do away with the board I assume I need to get a full wave rectifier and connect both sets of black and red wires to on set of rectifier terminals and both sets of yellow and blue wires to the other set of rectifier terminals.  Correct?
