I can't get the MTH R-17 (30-20182-1) subway cars into learn mode. I have it hooked up to a MTH Z 1000 transformer. I want to run the train on a single track as a shuttle train making three or four stops. I followed the MTH directions from there website but no luck. Here are instructions:
To program stations:
1. Running in Forward, stop the unit at the desired location for the first stop by
pressing the direction button. Note: if you stop the engine with the throttle control,
you must re-apply power so that the engine goes into neutral and does not shut down.
2. Enter Learn Mode by pressing Horn-Bell-Bell-Bell-Bell. The train will then announce
that you have entered Learn Mode.
3. Press and hold the Bell button to scroll through the available stations until you hear
the one that you would like to be your first stop. Release the button quickly as soon
as you have heard the desired stop name.
4. Press and hold the Horn button until a "saved" response confirms that station's
location and name are saved in memory.
5. Proceed to the next stop by pressing the Direction button.
6. Press the Direction button to stop the train again when you have reached the next
desired station location.
7. Using the Bell button, select the name of the station, then save using the Horn button.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 until you are ready to program the last stop in the route.
9. The manner of saving the last station in the route determines whether the route will
be an "Out & Back" or "Loop" route.
