I have one of the latest GG1s from Lionel. I bought it new from Trainworld in December. It has been great until today. I keep it in a glass display cabinet and so today I took it out connected some cars and powered up the track. I have only run this using TMCC. I had assigned it the number 77. I was startled and shut down the power. I put the control on my GW-180 back up to full and it took off in reverse. I immediately took it off the track switched it to program and assigned it a different number. When I powered up the track it operated normally until I hit the reverse on the CAB2. Then when I turned that big red dial on the remote nothing. I powered down the track powered it up and nothing. I powered up the track and it took off. So, I guess for some reason it thinks it is being controlled conventionally. Is this something I can address or does it need to go back to Lionel?
