Based on my experience described above, I'm inclined to agree with both GRJ & Oman. I have never heard of any detailed study & analysis of what happens upon failure of battery/supercap power at each split second stage of the shutdown or reset process.
John, that was where I was going.
Oman posted:I still think the factory reset removed the engine from the remote, but due to the low battery, the engine address did not go to default. I have no explanation for how he got it back.
Perhaps it dropped to the inactive list and he didn't notice it?

Could be.
I think that maybe it was on the remote,and did not get erased,and when I isolated it like that,it recovered the engine .I'm new to this,so it's just a guess.Marty,please contact me through my e-mail.I need to speak with you ASAP.Let me know if I can call you tomorrow.Thanks.
I've never seen an engine pop up by itself but I gave seen engines that said engine in remote and then reappear when it's trying to find loco.
Mike,

That's a new feature that was introduced with DCS 4.30.
If you attempt to add an engine that's already in the remote, after the "Engine in Remote" message is displayed that engine is automatically selected and displayed, and becomes the Active Engine.
