Jinty/j50 - Reverser Will Not Work

Just purchased the Jinty and J50 models in the sale and cannot get the reverser to work. All it does it go up to two, make a banging sound and stubbornly go back to zero.
Beautiful models - can someone help me fix them?
I am running TS2020 in Windows10 and in 64 bits on a Lenovo ideapad 330.

Don't own either locomotive, but did notice that they are Pro-Range trains. Did you read the manuals at all to make sure you arn't missing a step in operating them?

From the manual
Reverser
To release the lock the E key must be used

 

Did try that - one of the first things I tried. I will try it again, though.

Thanks

Got it. You have to press the E key simultaneously with the Reverser keys EVERY TIME which is a mega-pain.
They are great models and worthy of some struggle. If that could be changed though it would be for the better.
Where are you finding these manuals?

Its on the right of each DLC's Steam page description.

 

In your \steamapps\common\railworks folder is the Manuals folder which is where they normally install to when you buy something

Many thanks That is very helpful.
The J50 seems to change its mind as to whether it needs the "E" pressed with the reverser. Once it gets warmed up you no longer need to.
Thanks again.
