hello. i have a Chessie with ps2 that works must fine. i recently bought a Conrail diesel that was used. the conrail will not program into my dcs system. it works in conventional mode fine. i reset it in conventional mode no with problems but still would not program into dcs, the train just sits there and nothing comes on. i did a reset of the remote, tui and the trains then attemted to load the conrail first but no go. i then added the other trains back on. in doing so and while diagnosing i discovered when the chessie is chosen on the remote with the conrail on the track it will start and work the conrail. only thing i found is when the bell is activated i cannot cancel the bell unless i turn the train off or if the chessie is on the track at the same time then i am able to cancel the bell with the remote.
Apparently the conrail is programmed with the same info as my chessie in dcs. i can factory reset my chessie but i cannot factory reset the conrail not even with the chessie engine chosen on the remote. i also cannot recover the conrail.
what are my options here. i am thinking the previous owner had it coded on his system similar to my chessie which is why i can work it when the remote is selected with chessie.
what do i need to do to get the dce to recognize this conrail and load it into the system? i imagine something needs to be programmed. i tried what i know of to do.
any suggestions out there? i am stumped.
