Lionel GP-7 Diesel Item #6-28598 Repair

I posted this on the Hi Rail,027 and Traditional 3 rail forum and it was suggested I might be able to get an answer here.

It has been sometime since I ran this locomotive  so I tried to run it today. So I re-programmed the number into the Legacy Remote. The couplers fire , smoke unit , bell, horn and lights work. However when I go to move the locomotive in either forward or reverse, the breaker trips on the 180 w Powerhouse. Nothing happens. The breaker keeps tripping on the Powerhouse.

Any advice on what the problem is?

Thank you in advance for a response.

John,

This evening I tried to do what Marty recommended in the other post I made in the Hi Rail forum. I was able to get the locomotive to go in reverse, although it wasn't smooth.  When I tried to change direction, the locomotive would stop , the lights would go out and the breaker would continue to trip. Each time the lights would go on and off.

Next I tried to run the locomotive in conventional, and the loco runs fine. Strange

Any advice other than taking this to a repair dealer.

Any recommendations for a good repair shop in the Reading PA area.

Thank you
