This is obvious now, but this AM when a ICG diesel with IR came down off the ramp it would slow down by the time it got to switch #2 if going CCW...but not CW. I could not figure out why that happened at first, but mystery solved. To record on the sensor track on the ramp you push record and then ANYTHING you do with a CAB2 will be recorded. I read that, but apparently didn't realize what I read. I had wanted to record switch #2 to out. When I recorded it a couple of months ago, I took my time, as I remember, and when the engine I was using went over the sensor, I slowed the engine down with the throttle so I had time to get switch #2 set to OUT recorded before it got to the switch. That is exactly what the sensor was doing today. Setting switch #2 to out and slowing the engine down. Well at least the Lionel stuff was not broken, just the programmer.
