If this is a Dcc loco, it will be a matter of programming the loco’s direction parameters. I use JMRI’s Decoder Pro to program any on my locomotives. It’s is free to download, and it covers just about every decoder that is out there. Many systems allow you to program right from your controller, I have the NCE Power Cab system, and can program loc’s right from the controller. If you want to “consist” several locomotives, you should be able to select each loco’s direction in the consist on your controller.

That will reverse the way it runs. If DC just change your power in wires.

If you have other locos that behave themselves, you could open the loco and reverse the connections to the motor.

If you are using DCC, you could check the user manual and see if it lets you edit the CV setting(s) to reverse the default direction.

Either at the controller or the track.
