This is the oddest thing that I've ever encountered! I've had my Lionchief 2.0 North Pole Central Steam locomotive on the layout now for a couple of weeks, and it's been working fine, controlled through my Cab2, Cab 1L or Cab3 app (I have a Base3 setup). Today, I started up the engine, RailSounds came up fine, whistle / bell and sound effects are all great, BUT the engine doesn't respond to throttle commands from Cab2. Thought it might be a pickup issue or dead spot on track, so I moved the locomotive and tender to the other side of the layout and nothing! I picked up the Cab 1L, and it controlled the locomotive fine, as does the Cab3 app! I tried cycling power to no avail. It's my understanding that the locomotive information resides in the Base 3 (not the Cab2 remote), so I'm not sure how one remote could not work while the others do. I know by now you're suspecting the remote's throttle has gone bad (I did), but wait... It controls the other 10 locomotives on my layout and display shelves flawlessly. It's just the one locomotive that it won't control movement on. Sound effects and dialog are fine. Anyone ever had a single engine not respond to a single remote?? Appreciate your thoughts, because I'm lost! The good news is that I can pick up my Grandson's Cab1L and run the train, but when he's here, he tends to not want to give that up. . Thank you!
