    Subject line says it all. I have never seen this before with Bachmann dual-mode decoders. Is this a common problem with BLI? Are there any fixes short of removing or disconnecting the decoder board?

    Respectfully,

    Not familiar with BLI or decoders, Bob. Sorry ... wish I could help. :(

    Is that a decoder or an old Lionel E-Unit? All they needed to throw you in reverse was a couple smudges of dirt on the center rail.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    "Is that a decoder or an old Lionel E-Unit?"

    I was kinda thinkin' the same thing. It's 1954 all over again!

    At least American Flyer had/has neutral in between forward and reverse.

    :D
