It seems as though when I want to power up a track, isolated from other tracks, I address it as 'TR' then # 1 in this case, a named train appears at the top of the screen. I run my Lionel Blue Comet on this loop, amongst others, and its name appears on the top line of Cab 2. No matter what engine I have run, every time I address that track, the Blue Comet name appears at the top line, and the engine number sometimes in the space beneath the top name. It also happens on another track 'TR' #2, with a different engine I used on that track. I don't have a problem running engines, the name appears as normal, it's just when I first address those tracks, these names appear, even if I haven't used that engine in a while. I have a 'TR' 3, when addressed, nothing appears. Did I somehow NAME my TR??...BTW, if possible, I didn't know you could do that..

I watched Rich Melvin's video with Lou Kovach and the presentation of the IC CONTROLS, inventor of the now Lionel,s ASC'S,s and BPC'S,s. I have re-wired my layout using 5 BPC,s connected with two TPC 400,s. One side of each BPC runs TPC eng3 and the other side TPC eng4. This way all the blocks can be turned off or on with the Cab 2 Legacy Remote. This lets me turn off blocks with trains to save lights and power for other trains running. Each TPC IS Connected to 2-180 watt Power Houses. So--you can run conventional engines and Legacy Engines and also MTH engines. I think the name of the video by OGR is TMCC TRAINMASTER COMMAND CONTROL and BEYOND. Rich Melvin explains these products in easy to understand terminology. The video is probably still available. Happy Railroading.
