I have an MTH Southern locomotive (not Crescent). I am using a Z-750 transformer. There is no reverse switch or smoke switch. The direction button on the on the transformer does not do anything. If I use the speed knob back and forth it will cycle (forward - neutral - reverse - neutral - etc). How do I get it to stay in the forward gear? Also where can I get a manual?
Thanks,

With the throttle set to approximately 8 volts, press and hold the horn/whistle and shut off power. It should start up locked in forward.
Will that work for most MTH? Thinking of a 30-something Pioneer Zephyr that I have. Also, will it stay locked in forward if I take it off the track and let it set a couple of days before starting it again?
Without a model # or type of system ? can't be answered. Is this QSI, PS-1, or PS-2 or 3? G
I don't know for sure - it's stashed away upstairs behind several piles of 33 1/3 vinyl records and a bunch of Christmas stuff. However, I did do a quick run to Ebay, and I think this is the one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MTH-O-...;hash=item339183b4c4
