Read my previous post. The engine's battery needs to be charged.quote:I shouldn't have to do that. Something is causing this to happen the locomotive was just run for a while two days ago
I haven't a clue. This should not happen.quote:what is the answer to when your remote(s) cannot move any engines from the inactive list to the active list, and have the error message that the "engine is not on the track" but when you press read all engines on the track that are on the inactive list will be moved from the active list and will operate the engine fine.

I have 3 TIU's all in super mode, this started after I loaded 4.2 months ago. I can access all engines as long as i do the read function, but as I stated before I cannot bring a single engine from inactive to active.
I is just annoying that's all
They are not stored in the TIU, however, the remote has the association of each engine with a TIU. It's the association that appears to be messed up.quote:1.I thought with rev 4.0 that the engines were no longer stored in the TIU's.
Because the problem occurred after the engines were stored in all the remotes, when you switched to Super TIU mode. Also, if you cloned one remote to the others, all of them would inherit any issues present in the one that was the original.quote:2.why would all 3 remotes have the same problem.
All Super TIU mode does is instruct all TIUs to attempt to send commands to all engines, regardless of which TIU is associated with a particular engine. The remote does all of the heavy lifting.quote:In super mode the engines should associated with all the tiu, is that not the case with software 4.20? it appears not .
quote:Since, I believe, you run DCS 3.1 rather than 4.10 or 4.20,

Hi Mike I'm still here. Now I have an engine that was on the track for months but inactive status for a few days. Running two other trains a hudson powered freight and a double headed Mikado freight, then out of the blue the consolidation took off dark at full speed. All my batteries are good this time and the last time I wrote. After reading all the lionel problems on the other discussion I guess this is just a DCS thing.Got nothing better to do then reboot, restart and reenter. This is sad, This forum works more reliable than my trains.
Yes, that's expected behavior.quote:Is there a reason for this
One of three reasons.quote:Interesting, so if that is true why wouldn't a brand new engine out of the box Have a lower address number, instead it was addressed as 79
quote:I just want to why the open addresses available with lower numbers are not being used up when engines are added into the roster of engines.
It sounds as if you have two issues.quote:made a lash up and the lowest address assigned was 32, as there are addresses as low as 7, also when I try and change an address the numbers listed above in my previous post are not available. Other than the address issue everything is working fine.
You can't, except by putting dummy TMCC engines in all of empty spots lower than the one where you want to put the "real" engine, and then adding it.quote:Ok,
Then how do you change the MTH address of a TMCC engine, I know how to change a Lionel address, but couldn't find a way to do this even in Barry's book.
