On my cab 1 each time you press a button, it makes a click noise. If yours doesn't, are you sure you have good batteries in it?
Perhaps the power after is assigned a different number? Try reprogramming it to 1 per the instructions.
just a few ideas. It is a really neat system once it is set up.

Being always at least 20 years behind the times, I recent purchased a MIB Train Master set manufactured in 1994. I have no Command Control equipment and so am interested only in running trains in conventional mode.
The set consists of a PM-1 Power Master, a CAB-1 Remote Controller, and a PM-1 Power Adapter Cable. I powered it with an LW transformer cranked up to its maximum of 20 volts. I put 4 new AA batteries into the CAB-1, correctly aligned. I followed the installation instructions (carefully, I think), but I can't get anything to happen.
The green light on the Power Master comes on, indicating it is receiving power. I hit the Boost button on the Cab-1 and turned the speed control a bit to "wake up" the unit, per instructions. I pressed Track and then 1, and then tried turning the speed control, but my engine (a postwar Jersey Centrol NW-2, # 622 I think) didn't move. I tried the horn to no avail either. (I know all this works since I had just run the engine via my transformer before hooking up the "new" stuff.)
Following troubleshooting instructions, I moved the switch on the Power Master to "Program" and made sure it was set to respond to Track 1. Then I moved the switch back to "Run," but still got nothing. The other switch has been set to "Conventional" all along. Throughout all this, the green light on the Power Master has remained on, but the red light has not come on at all.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
