Check to be sure that the reverse unit is on. This may be a lever on the top of the locomotive or a slide switch under the engine. If that doesn't solve the problem, you will need to take the engine to a service center to be repaired. A list of service centers can be found at Lionel.com
The first thing to figure out is the amount of time between the trains is 12 minutes. That would mean for train B to pass the station at 9:37 it would have to travel 22 miles in 12 minutes. Because, traveling at 110 miles/hour in 12 minutes the train would have travel 22 miles. Shown below shows the interpolation to come up with 22 miles.
Train A had to traveled 12 minutes so, it would have been 20 miles ahead of the station. Screened below shows the interpolation to equal 20 miles.
Though this calculation of 20 miles isn't necessary for the parametric solution that is being shown. It was very helpful in my solution in successive approximation. This parametric solution's starting point is at 9:37, not 20 miles ahead.
Using successive approximation, when train A traveled 200 miles in 2 hours, and train B was only 2 miles behind train A. At that point the time varibles needed to be broke down to minutes and seconds which gave me a real accurrate answer. Both trains were side by side in 2 hours and 12 minutes, and had traveled 220 miles from the station. You wouldn't believe how far the significant bits needed to be carried out to get such an accurate number. That's what gave me the idea to substitute, and use a parametric solution. In this solution the t (aka. time) is going to be substituted for the y axis. Next, I broke miles/hour down to mile/minute because, I knew the answer was in minutes: 2 hours and 12 minutes.
110/60=1.833333 so, -20+1.833333 t and 100/60=1.6666667 so, 1.6666667 t
Now load the equation:
Now let's look at the solution from the graph. Each line represents a train.
Notice how the two lines are converging. Where the two lines meet is the exact point when the two trains are side by side.
Substituting t (aka. time) for the y axis show that at the point when the trains were side by side equals 132 minutes. Or 2 hours and 12 minutes. The distance traveled x axis=220 mile from the station.
To a point successive approximation would have been messy, and hard to follow. Somethings can only be solved by using graphs, or better solved by using graphs.
