    Looking for a SW1500

    MRC Railpower Tech II 1400 direction issue

    hey all. i have the aforementioned power pack hooked up to some atlas code 80 track via a pair of unexceptional wired rail joiners. problem is every time i flip the direction switch on the power pack, it automatically defaults to full throttle, and stays there, regardless of any throttle...
