Hi there i have a mantua Pacific and RSO Pacific and they won't go into reverse how do i fix it.
Well, which is it? DC or DCC.Are these DC or DCC. If the latter, I suspect there is a CV that needs changing. But if they are DC only, that is more of a puzzle. Have you checked to see that the valve gear isn't binding? Have you tried reversing the leads from the DC powerpack to the tracks? If that's the case, there might be something amiss with the powerpack.
In that case, there's a problem with that engine. You'll need to check if there's a damaged gear, binding in the valve gear, a bad motor, or intermittent contact.
