I did a successful shell swap to put the old PS1 C&NW E4 Hudson #4008 boiler and tender shells on a second PS2.0 20-3298-1 CNW E4. Had to fabricate a threaded boss to hold the larger board in the boiler, otherwise the swap is straightforward. The loco functions perfectly, I only lost the backup light for some unknown reason, but that's not my concern. I tried several times using the instructions in the DCS manual to change the engine name to show its new road number, but was unable to get it to work. Got various error messages including "engine error" at the conclusion, but always the original road number remained in the name, unchanged. I have v6.10 software in remote and tiu and everything else DCS is working swimmingly. I've only seen this problem written up related to V4.10 software years ago. Any tips? Thanks
