One of my Cab-1's seems to suddenly be killing batteries between each time I run trains.
It's almost like the automatic power-down feature has gone sideways.
Is this a known Cab-1 problem? Any fix besides putting in a manual on-off switch?
thanks,
Rod

you could remove the batteries after using it.
May just be the batteries you are using.
I thought I was experiencing the same problem. Seemed like every time I picked it up I had to replace batteries. But my current set of batteries, from radio shack, have been in it for over a year and still work great.

Sticking button?
If the keypad and sensor pad(under the buttons) are dirty, it could be that the power-down is not happening due to believing it is still being used.

You could, but it would be a lot less invasive to just pull out a battery.
