96RAF Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Change CV29 bit 1 - use an online calculator to find the decimal number to write to it.https://www.2mm.org.uk/articles/cv29%20calculator.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog RJ Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 What controller (Command Sation) are you using. Hornby Select & Elite have a simple way of reversing engine direction without having to get into CV settings. Don't know about Railmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 If it is a steam engine without lights just turn the decoder round in the socket. Perhaps when they wired up the DCC socket they got the wires mixed up. Unless of course they wired up the decoder wrong which I very much doubt.
