Hello folks!

I bought an elder rather cheap used LGB Control box 5075/1 on the german Ebay recently. Before buying it I saw that it had three cable screws for each turnout but I thought that it must be the same as the newer ones with wholes for two cables from the turnout. When I tested it it does'nt work as it should, only in one direction. On the box to my LGB 5007 speed Control it's a symbol with a turnout with Three cables connected to the Control box. What would you advice me to do? There were some items of this elder type (as new in boxes for £ 33!) also from dealers in the States and no one had information if it fit newer LGB´'s or not.:mad:

Next time I will ask the seller, but it is'nt shure that he know or want to know

The newer two wire motors use reverse polarity to move the motor. You can rewire the inside of the box to include diodes and then it needs to be fed with AC current, not DC.
 
Thank you stockers! Then I know. Next time I ask here first. Now I also know why the never control boxes are rather expensive.

You might like to look at my Sales as below, these are still both available and are the sort that you are looking for. Only issue may be Postal Cost outside of UK which would be somewhat more than I have allowed for. If you are interested I will give you a quote for Postage to Sweden.
