I obtained a low/not run K-line plymouth switcher.   

It runs reverse great.

Nuetral from reverse, it creaps and hums.  I think this points to the reversing board as a problem.

Forward only 1/3 speed and sluggish

Nuetral from forward.  In nuetral, no humming.

All the lights work.  Front/rear lights cycle correctly.   Smoke unit off/untested.   I am leaving it off until the forward/nuetral is resolved.  Motor works freely forward/reverse.

I am thinking this is a problem with the reversing board.   Do I need the one specifically for the Plymouth?  Does it also power the smoke unit/lights.  Or can I use a Dallee or similar reverse board?

From now on, engines with electronics will not be purchased by me at York bandit sales unless they can be tested.
