wabash 4-6-4 won't respond to legacy cab 2

I would need to know what 6-xxxxx number the hudson is.  and I believe you can only have two numbers in your legacy cab2.

It will only accept 2 digits as posted above. So right now it is probably programmed as '00'! Program in TMCC mode if you didn't. I think the catalog # is 18046.

It sounds like the engine is not receiving the the signal and starting in conventional mode. First I would try doing a reprogram, follow the instructions here,

Also as Chuck replied, make sure you are in tmcc mode.

Thanks Boxcar for the information.  I had to wait to get to a computer at work to pull up the list...my 6-18046 is not listed there..but I will try some of the codes later to see if that works.  I assume the tender needs to be tethered and on the track with the locomotive?

Scroll through the options and make sure it's in TMCC mode and not Legacy mode.  The TMCC locomotives won't respond to Legacy commands.

Ok, I tried the reset code, but after hitting aux 1 before hitting the code number, my screen goes from numbers to steam icons...so I probably did not do that just right.  I decided to see if it would run in conventional mode.  It did and smoked but had no railsounds.  I decided to go back to command mode...it took off full speed the moment the track power came on with railsounds back on...I grabbed it off the track!  I then set the switch to program/lock?...it still took off the moment track power comes on!  I thought these engines will not run in program setting?  Oh well, back to the shelf it goes...I have some new legacy engines coming...sd70m-2 CN, gp9 CN, and c30 SRR.  If any off them have to go back to lionel, I will debate whether to send it too!
