O Road posted:I have several blocks where I run center rail power through a toggle switch so that I can cut power to the block as desired. This works fine for my TMCC/Legacy engines. However, if I cut power when there is a DCS engine in the block, when I subsequently power back up, the DCS engines won't operate. I have to cut all power to everything and then power back up for the DCS engines to work again. I am baffled. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
They come up in conventional mode with sounds in neutral, right? Did you try doing a shutdown on the remote to the locomotive and then a startup? I see this all the time at the club, not all locomotives do it, but a lot do. I'm pretty sure it also has to do with signal strength, but I can't say for sure.
Our symptoms are everything works but movement. We can blow the horn, but the locomotive won't move. The shutdown/startup gets their mind right.
