I just received this item second-hand, and am controlling it with a DCS remote, I don't own a CAB 1 remote currently. Everything works as expected except for the smoke. I cannot turn it on/off while the smoke is switched to TMCC. If I switch it to "Conv" then it functions as expected. What am I missing?

On my Legacy remote I had to hit the Alt 1 and the + key in TMCC mode to turn on the smoke. I don’t know how you would do that in DCS. Maybe someone else does. It sounds like the Locomotive is working properly.
This is a 3 rail engine.

Hard to say with such a limited description.
Is it on or off when switched to TMCC? Can you switch it on/off in CONV with the DCS remote?
It's a three way switch. CONV/OFF/TMCC
CONV - Smoke stays on constantly, remote has no effect.
OFF - Nothing
TMCC- No buttons on the MTH remote seem to be able to toggle the smoke on or off, it just stays off.
Sounds like an internal issue.

Have you checked for a broken wire at or from the switch?
