If you have the ability to select which track, select the track and try to power up(set voltage) as in running a conventional engine to see if the DCS commander is working. This is what I have to do to access a PS-2 engine on track two with my DCS base(TIU).

Charles, Those are fairly new yet, don't believe there are to many out and in use to develop much of a knowledge base yet. I would suggest calling MTH tomorrow, monday, and see if they can be of assistance.

I thought about getting one but decided it would be to limiting compared to the standard DCS system, albeit a whole bunch cheaper.

Is anyone out there running their PS2 MTH O gauge trains with the DCS Commander? The Commander has recognized the engine on the track but when I press the "start up" button, nothing happens. I need help.
