Back in the 50's / 60's there was a train strore in Orange,NJ called The Train Center. They sold only trains. Anybody remember this store, year it opened , year it closed and who owned it ?

I have a Quicksilver Express 8268 Diesel A (powered) unit that will not run forward. It would run reversibly forward and backwards when I first got it but now will only run backwards.

There doesn't appear to be a directional switch that I can find. The circuit board has an ID # of 00-0103-00. There don't appear to be any broken connections or obvious damage to any of the components on the board. I have checked the connections and all appear to be intact. Not sure what might have caused the problem unless a component on the board has failed.  Photo of circuit board attached.

Any ideas on how to remedy the situation ?  It would be fine if it only ran forward.

Zephyr, how did it turn out?

Hello & Welcome to the Forum!
Sorry to hear about your connectivity problem.  If you have access to a multi meter, check each piece of track to see where your power loss is. You might need to add another feed to that area.
 STOP USING Sand Paper on your track. IF you must, use heavy aluminum foil to rub the rail surface.
Clean your track, pins and recepticals with alcohol, smoke fluid, etc on a rag or paper towels. while you're at it, clean your pickup's & wheels on your locomotive.
That should bring you full circle, listening to the clickety clack as your train goes roundy round.
Happy Rails!
