Relatively new PS 3 equipped Railking GP9. Was running just fine. Track circuit breaker tripped. I reset it and did a new startup. Since then, I have everything except motion. Smoke, lights, sounds, couplers - everything works except it won't move in forward or reverse. I turned the sound off and listened but I don't hear anything straining or trying to do anything. I have already done both feature and factory resets.
Thoughts?

Running DCS or Conventional? Try a conventional reset with 1W and 5B. Procedure in manual. G
DCS. What does 1W , 5B mean?
A conventional (transformer) engine reset consists of 1 Whistle/Horn button press, followed by 5 Bell Button presses. Use 1/2 second presses with 1/2 second pauses in-between.
This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition", available for purchase from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book.
Thanks Barry! I too have a PS-3 engine that just quit working for no reason other then it sat for a couple of months. Tried the reset sequence with an MTH Z-1000 and now it works fine.

At one time a factory command reset would unlock a conventional dir lock with ps-2 engines. (done it a few times). However apparently that's not the case now with proto3 so it looks like the conventional reset is the only way to go.... Do you have a transformer or anything with a horn /bell button? if not a var channel in var mode with the dcs signal turned OFF will let the dcs 's remote's bell and horn button do the job. 1W 5B
