I must remark that fighting DC ignorance is always a noble cause. The reason we have reversing relays is because there was no other practical way to achieve this action, short of using a switch. Early DC power supplies were either batteries or expensive glass vaccum tubes. The magnets were inferior and given the cost, neither was practical for toy trains. Modern s gauge Flyonel trains can run on either AC/DC and normal (not early DC northerns and 0-8-0s ) are universal current types. The early Flyer E units wouild become magnetized from continous DC power and stick however modern units are DC/AC compatible. There are however some other units that were not designed to be universal and research is required to see if there are compatible. some Flyonel early production could be not usable. DC reversing is easy and taken for granted by hundreds of HOs, who always think of E units as a primitive anachronism CASG

You could much more easily swap out the Gilbert reverse unit (e-unit) and replace it with an electronic reverse unit.

Electronics & economics change all the time. I went to DC in the 70's when electronic reverse units were not on the horizon & a bridge was $2.99 each. Time marches on and now you have even more control options direction,sound,lighting,couplers.
