DCS starts two engines simultaneously

have you tried using a different remote and reset it and then load your engines and try again?

If both engines have the same address stored, they will both respond to the commands.

Make sure they don't have the same address. You can edit the address with the remote too rather than deleting and re-adding one. Just make sure only one engine is getting power when you edit the address.

Even when you delete them, they retain the last address you assigned to them. So they are doing what they should do. You have to change one's address.

I've had this happen, you need to do a factory reset to both of the engines, then re-add them. It worked for me. Tip from GGG.

Yep....  Only one engine on the track receiving power when adding,,,, As for the factory reset, I would just delete  both  from the remote and add them back one at a time  because  with 2 engine with the same ID you'll have to do a  factory  reset   to both  at the same time. I'm not sure how that would go. You may get one reset and then the other one "engine not found."

Thanks everyone.  Only own one remote.

Different addresses.  The 381 is #1 and the 400E is #10.

I'm going to try this.  I will report back shortly.

Okay.  It worked.  The whole time I was doing this, there was also a #9E and a 392E on the tracks.  They never had the problem.  I left them there. 

I removed the 381E and the 400E from the track, deleted both from the remote, placed the 381E on the track, added it to the remote, removed it from the track, tracked and added the 400E to the remote, and finally re-tracked the 381E.  Now they're responding individually.  Thank you very much.  Problem solved.

Good news thanks for the update!
