I just got back into MTH and am getting ready for  a new layout.  I had my ps3 911 engine working last night.  Then I put on my NW engine and it was runnng and stopped mid stream.  I am using a mth 4000 transformer so i do not think i have a short and the red light did not go on or throw the breaker.  but now, when I put an engine on the track it starts as soon as i throw up the throttle.  and then it justs sits there.  when i get my remote it sees the tiu and the track but does not see any engine regardless of which engine i put on the track.  Help

if the red light is lit on power up on the z4000 then you either have a short or transformer issue ! I would disconnect your transformer from track and then power up and see if shorts clears. if is does it is either a track problem or short in your engine! if the train starts as soon as you power it up the tiu is not sending out the watch dog so engine will stay silent! sounds like your having a tiu problem does your tiu find the remote and if so do you have the DCS turned on go into dcs setup and  set aon which will turn all channels of dcs on!  aon means all on for dcs!

let us know what you find out. !
