Have you checked to see if the direction switch is on? Most Lionel locomotives can be set to run in one direction by turning the direction sequencing off. This is true for the newer electronic direction circuits and the older electromechanical E-units. Sometimes the direction units fail and the locomotive will only go in one direction or sits in neutral. If that is the case, the direction unit will need to be serviced (mechanical type) or replaced (electronic type). Go to Lionel.com for additional information and help.

SOURCE: Lionel Polar Express Berkshire Locomotive will only go in reverse

No doubt the transistor in the motor controller inside the engine is shorted TIP31C Q6 If you have the skills you can repair the unit. Parts are cheap, like 50 cents. Expense is shipping. Have repaired at least one that had the probblem you describe
good luck

Lionel train problems
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

If sounds like something is wrong with circuit board that controls direction. If it is new it should still under warranty. Find a decent repair shop from Lionel and bring it in.

Runs only in reverse i have other pre war 1681e does the same
Have you changed transformers? You can also make a Lionel run in opposite direction by using the throttle control...just go to stop and then to power and then back to no stop and right to power. That often works.

CW 80 -Direction button doesn't work
Recent Lionel transformers are notorious for their issues. Put an old fashioned reverse switch into the circuit, an old Lionel 88 will do the wire to terminal 1 of the lockon or the wire tothe center rail needs to be cut and attached to the 2 terminals of the 88 reverse switch. Note this is ancient technology from the 30s to 50s

Why is the green light on my Lionel controller blinking? I inherited a Lionel Union Pacific Express Set. Put it together and not working except the train moved for a second. But the controller light that I think should be a solid green (and is for a sec here and there) is blinking. Does this indicate a problem must be with the controller? Thank you
