Change Pullmor motor rotation direction

You have a couple of options.1) which ever unit you want to go in reverse, get it in to reverse and then turn of the direction switch. No soldering required.  2) There are three wires connected to the motor, blue, green and yellow. I think this how you do it. Leave the green wire alone. The blue and yellow wires are attached to the brushes. Flip the wires on the brushes. You can do this and it won’t hurt anything if it doesn’t reverse the direction. But I’m pretty sure that will work.  I forgot, possibly a third option - Some third party e-units have a jumper, that can change the start up sequence. If you’re using a third party you might want to check that.

Steve’s got the right answers here,……only thing I’d add, is I’d be looking for a way to do it through the electronics, Just in case I want to change the direction easily in the future…..not that a couple of soldering touches isn’t easy, but you get the idea,…..

Yep, swapping the brush connections reverses the Pulmore motors.  If you want to make it convenient to do, just add a DPDT switch between the brushes and their connections.  Flip the switch and you're off in the other direction.

Thanks guys!

Pat...are you doing old scale lionel can motor conversions?

I sent you an email...wondering about cost to just do the motor swap...and set it up for a legacy board...
