tpc 300 loses id#

This may seem like a dumb question, if so sorry. Did you put the run/program switch back into the run position after setting the ID#?

Yes after setting it up I put the switch back to run. The unit works fine until I turn power off to it then loses id#. Is there a unit reset code? I did aux1 aux2 o. thx

Try programming as an engine. It will give you more possibilities and not take up the TR which is used for putting together trains.

 

I have lost the programming on occasion with the two that I have but have always been able to reprogram them. Just avoid the numbers 1 and 99 if you use or plan to use Legacy since they are default numbers.

 

If my suggestion does not work and you purchased it new it should be under warranty. You could just return it for a replacement unit.

Does it hold the ID # if you program it to another #, say TR 5?

I had an issue with a TPC400 when using double digits. When I used a single digit such as 9, everything worked fine. I think I called Lionel and they told me to try this. Good lunch.
