MTH 44 tonner

Are running conventional on the CW80 track ?

Perhaps a little reset will help ...

Menu/Advanced/ Reset engine/  feature reset .   Try the feature reset else you'll have to add it back to the remote.

I'm  assuming you have  full dcs  ....  tiu etc.

Yes I am running conventional on my main line but only DCS with remote on the upper level.

You know, I run TMCC and Friends, with Lionel bricks, so Conventional operation is not really done on my layout, but how many of these threads concerning odd locomotive behavior contain a phrase like: "...track powered by a CW80..."?

It seems like a lot. I read this thread for the MTH 44T angle - and there was "CW80" again. Huh.

Use the DCS Remote (button 7) to turn the headlights back on.

I only have the remote commander set not the DCS command control.

A little unfair don't you think considering the original poster stated the 44 tonner worked as it should when he ran it on his main level using the CW80.

Have  I missed something?

Happy railroading,

Thanks Don

I think people should read the post a little closer before making a comment.

The DCS-RC will reset new PS/3 locomotives to factory defaults.  The 44-Ton locomotive is new enough to have the latest features, try that for a first step.  See if it behaves after a factory reset.

Turn off power if on
Wait 15 seconds
Turn on power:  the engine should be dark and quiet
Press no other buttons
Press SND
Press DIR
Press "-"  (on the gray rocker in the center of the remote.  Also is the speed down button.)
The engine will give a two honk response and will be sitting on the track running
The engine has now been factory reset, and is ready to run with your DCS Remote Commander system.

Thanks so much John, that did it!!!

 I'm happy you were fixed up however when you post  "Yes I am running conventional on my main line but only DCS with remote on the upper level. " ???  It can be confusing???

Really!

Great, glad there was a simple fix.
