Cab-1 Red Dial problem
Posted by 71835 on Friday, July 6, 2012 7:06 PM

Help!

I have a Cab-1 remote control that works just fine in increasing locomotive speed when turned clockwise, however, when it is rotared counterclockwise the locomotive also gains speed.  When turned very slowly, speed slows for part of the rotation, then increases for the balance fof the rotation.

The net effect is faster trains, just when you want them to slow down.  Problem is constant rather than intermittant.

Is this a fixable fault, and if so, how would I go about it myself, or is it a train repair shop job.

Thanks very for any advice.

I second the recommendation for Dale, I think he's the best option here.
