Added a newly acquired Railking Imperial Proto 3 Pennsy 2-8-2 to the DCS layout on Fixed 1 on the outer loop. Shortly thereafter a Railking Proto 3 Pennsy M1 started to move on its own on the Fixed 2 inner loop while I was operating the 2-8-2 I was able to shut the M1 down and back it into the engine shed while I still had the 2-8-2 at idle. I do have both loops live at the same time on the TIU.
At different times , intermittently, the remote showed TIU ERROR and I had a partial or slowed response from the remote over the 2-8-2. I started up a reliable Proto 2 Railking switcher in the rail yard on the Fixed 1 while the 2-8-2 was at idle . The switcher had also exhibited the same type of behavior of not always responding off and on . Ever once in while " TIU ERROR " would pop up .
The remote had new batteries ..........The track is clean and wheels and pickups are clean.........The TIU is a REV.L..........Connections on the TIU are secure............The remote is tethered to the TIU............ The red light on the TIU came on and blinked once.............Before operating today I never had the TIU ERROR show up on the remote.
I tried to find some info in the 5th Edition manual that came with the more than 2 year old TIU but have come up empty so far.
How can I find out why the error message is showing up and how do I get things back to normal 🙃 ?
