Lionel TMCC New Haven PA Alco Help Please

A New Haven PA with a Mars light?

It may not be correct but that's the way they were produced.

Do a Reset of the R2LC with the code in the instruction.  G

I did a reset from the manual using code 8 as instructed without success.

Are you sure this has mars?  The instructions don't seem to mention it.  Does this just have one front light?  Direction headlight sounds correct.  MARS light is a second light that would flash while the headlight is steady on.  Instructions look like a head light only.  G

I couldn't find it in the manual either and thought that was confusing because my other diesels with a Mars have two headlights and its in the manual. This Alco set has one headlight but when I put it in the track for the first time this weekend it acted like a Mars and if I enter M + Set on either my Cab1 or Cab2 it does it ossilates like a Mars. 

It sounds like it doesn't have it but just for the heck of it I'll see if I can post a video of it later tonight. 

Thanks

Mike

I do not think TMCC had a controllable Mars Feature with CAB-1.  You sure it wasn't a flicker vice MARs effect. Where is a + on a CAB-1?  G

There's no + on the remote, it's how I was indicating the keystrokes. Press the M then press Set. 

I think I figured it out, the flashing headlight is when the powered unit is in program mode for the momentum. 

Correct, if you press SET in RUN mode, the light flashes until you press SET again and set the stall speed.  There's no point in using the stall speed feature with cruise control, that's probably why that never occurred to any of us.

Thanks guys, sorry for the confusion.
