All performance issues should be so simple.
Someone reversed the two motor wires.
Reverse them back to the proper postion.
Cacole is probably right.

Years ago my sons Bachmann did that right out of the box. I wasn't into doing much in the way of repairing or changing then (still reluctant), but it does happen right from the factory. If you only have one loco, you never notice.
I'd say reversing the wires should help.
In DC it made no difference which way you put the loco on the track, they go the same direction (most of them), all you had to do was turn the loco around to have it run with the other hood forward.
Good luck,
Richard
If it's dcc ready locomotive, just try flipping the plug on the harness.
Remove the shell and reverse the wires to the motor. The seller probably reversed the wiring to the motor so it could be ran backwards as the second unit in a consist.
Hey,
I bought a used GW GP20 off of Ebay a couple of months ago for a fairly decent price. What I've noticed however was that it runs the opposite direction of all the other locos. My layout is DC. So if the power pack is set on foward the loco runs in reverse and when in reverse it runs forward. It can be a bit of an annoyance because right now I got a double main line and running both lines off one powerpack. So my intentions my be to run one train one direction and the other main line the other direction but if i want to sue this engine it runs the same way as the other engine. What could this be???
Thanks,
Quan
