Thanks Barry
once again the DCS companion comes through. ‘‘Twas the weekend before Christmas and not a train would stir”..
anyway, I’m giving 2 trains to nieces and nephews this year. They run great on my DCS system. I factory reset them and set them to address 1. You guessed it! No response. It wasn’t until I read “the truth about addressing” section that I realized that I needed to reset them and immediately remove them without setting them to address 1. Saved my tail and sanity. The kids come in tomorrow.
