Texas Special E-7 6-31755 Engine Number won't reset in Cab 1

GF Greg from TexasOGR Forum Member

I have had 3 issues in 2 days and you guys have solved both.

Here is my 3rd.

I purchased a Used Texas Special E-7, 6-31755 from Grybowskis Train. It arrived today. But they are closed.

It works fine in coventional.

But when I tried to assign an engine number in my Cab1 nothing happens.

So I tried the rest below.

Reprogramming an Engine Number with a Cab#1 controller.  (From this site in 2013 and the Manuel)

(1.) Move Run/Prog  switch to Prog.

(2.) Engine on track, power track.  

(3.) Eng , ##, Set,  where ## is the engine number. Set is under the small window/door at the bottom of the Cab 1 handheld. A whistle/ horn should blow or (headlight flash).

(4.) Wait 10 seconds, power off.

(5.) Move Run/Prog  back to Run.

(6.) Engine on the track, power on, Engine should respond to the new number.   



And, I get nothing.

Any suggestions?

I can't remember but do the Odyssey setting matter. Odyssey sound is on and Odyssey is off.

Greg,

    When you hit the set button did the horn sound? Also what number are you assigning to the engine? The cab #s are 101 and 101A? You can use the same number on both the powered and unpowered units. I would assign Engine #10 as 1 is the number Lionel uses for all engines from the factory.

    Since the engines are 13 years old and were used there maybe a bad board that needs replacement. Any of the names I gave you on the other thread can help you with a replacement board. I would get in touch with Gyrbowski’s first before contacting a repair person. I am sure they have a good repair guy. Also could be a loose board that needs to be reseated, if your comfortable you can try to do this yourself.
