Beautiful Locomotives! For TMCC running, Set the four switches to:
Since they were only run in conventional, they may or may not still have their TMCC (as originally delivered) engine ID setting of "Engine 1." If so, you can leave it or change it to your liking. If they seem to run oddly, try changing the Cruise control switch to Off.
Are both of these locos powered, or just one?
Both power with wires from one to the other.
There is only one program run switch that I can find.
I did all that.ok I put on the track and then power up track all lights come on engines and then hit eng 1 On legacy remote but they don't start.like there not getting a command. Not sure else to do.

Read your TMCC instruction manual.
Do you have a TMCC system installed on your layout or a Legacy system ?
Next step - assume someone did change the engine ID. You can change it to one of your liking from 2 to 99. If this procedure is new for you, it is the same as for any TMCC engine. For convenience, the attached paragraph is from a K-Line Diesel instruction sheet. We know it isn't 1, so you have one chance in 98 of choosing what it already is, in which case, your procedure will just overwrite the old number with the same, like your PC does.
I don't have one.
Ok I'll give it a shot.
Got it.its working.thank you for your help.now I need to know how I can add more powerhouse 180 brick to the layout.got so many engines on track keeps tripping the breaker.
All figure out.
Thanks for the help.
