Still working on refurbishing my Train from early 50's. Had it (kind of) running the other day. I would go forward around the track and then I could get it to go reverse. However, now all of a sudden, I get it to start and goes about 2.5 tracks and then stops when I start it up again it goes in reverse about the same amount of tracks. Once in a while I can get it to go in reverse around the track but difficult to do forward. I have a different transformer coming in the mail but not here yet and the old one hasn't really been working that well; no whistle, no auto reverse, hard to control the speed etc. Any thoughts on why the forward and than reverse?
