I put this at the end of an old link, decided to try again alone, here goes:
Here is what spurred this request......... Recently I "lost" lights, coupler, sound etc on an Genesis. Was going to ship it off, but one more inspection (after eye improvement) and I saw the connector was not tight to the board. Snapped it one end and...voila. Today I was running the engines, first time in awhile. Running through the softkeys, I hit a couple, heard some sounds, BUT some did nothing!!
Later, I fired it up....no interior lights, and something else was missing. Hot under the collar, I pulled the 6 screws and took the shell off. All looked good, wiggled wires - BUT I had missing lights! I reset the engine. While it sat there, after the reset and all good. THEN, I hit an Skey. The cab light went off! Never knew/saw that before! Guess that key did something after all.
Hit another key, another light went off. Well, I turned them back on, put the shell on. Mental note: never hit an unknown softkey once. It may "not" do anything you notice, but it probably will "do" something. Remember to hit the key a second time, to counteract whatever it was that happened.
So, I would like to delete some Skey commands! I have no idea why my engineer wanted to turn off the cab light - but I don't want him to any longer!! And especially if he caused a train wreck - I cause enough on my own.
Help??? Greg
