Was running trains this afternoon and ran into an issue with the route programming of my DZ2500 machines. Sometimes the machine LED's don't indicate the correct position of the switch so usually I would just push the button on top of the machine and the light would change to the proper color for the switch position. Did this today and must have held the button down too long and the machine went into program mode.
Re-programmed the switch in question and suddenly lost all of my routes. I use routes for the Ross 4-way yard switch to avoid any possibility of derailments when moving engines in and out the yard. Never had an issue until today.
Tried to reprogram the routes using both the Legacy Remote and also dug out my CAB1 and tried to use that to program the them but none of the programming is working. Never had any issues over the past three to four years that they have been in use.
I can address individual switches and they throw in the proper direction but I can't seem to get the Route programming to work so I know that the Data Wire Driver is working, at least to address the switches. Maybe that device has lost the ability to program routes.
Any ideas?
BTW: In order to program routes you the machines accept the same commands as a Lionel SC2
