I installed my Cruise Commander board and hooked up my CAB-1L base to the outside rail of my track. I turned the command base on, put the locomotive on the track, turned the track power on then pressed ENG 12 SET to program the ID. I switched the program/run switch and tried to throttle up and...nothing. Any ideas? Also with a Cruise Commander how do you know when the program/run swich is in program or run mode? There's no label on the switch!

The program position of the switch connects the two wires on the switch. The run position connects one wire to the empty post.
Look at your Cruise Commander manual. In addition to setting an engine ID#, you must tell the board what kind of locomotive it is (diesel with smoke, diesel with strobe, steam with smoke, etc.). The sequence is:
Switch to PGM
Power on to track
ENG (ID# 1 to 98)
SET
AUX1
(engine type 1 to 8)
Power off to track
Switch to RUN
