HO trolley bus motor problems

[tombbbb]

Hi Tom.
Very strange ! I checked three of my busses and they are all wired in the way I described !
I can only think that Silvine busses are wired in a different way.
Let's hope an owner of a Silvine bus finds this post or you find more info online.
Regards, Colin.

Addition - I have emailed a contact in New Mexico who had one of these busses in the hope he can send photos of his bus insides if he still has it.

Colin,
I had time to spend some time on this thing again, and no matter how I move around wires, it only runs when the wires are set up, as they were when this started, and it runs backwards. However, unlike yours, the motor spins forward!? I'm going to look at the gears next, perhaps something fell out and I put it back incorrectly. Oh well!, we'll see.
