Have lost correspondence between the CAB 2 controller and locomotive

 Around here you will find mostly H0 scale and N scale modelers. Different electronic issues.

 Try asking in the CTT forum: http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/95.aspx - that's where you will find most of the Lionel, American Flyer at MTH enthusiasts, plus O gauge and S gauge

From a exasperated new train hobbyist. 

 

When I discovered my 1950's train set last fall, I suddenly became once again enamored with the hobby. 

 

Have gone out and purchased new equipment but am now thoroughly exasperated with the Lionel Legacy Command Control, CAB 2.  

 

I am operating with an MTH Z4000 transformer, a Lionel Vision 3.1 in the controller , and a Lionel Vision Challenger locomotive.  

 

Suddenly, I have lost the ability to control my engine with the CAB 2  controller.  I have reinstalled the software for the engine, have scanned the CAB 2  in order to be sure that it is operating on the same channel as the base unit and have replaced the connector wire between the base unit and the outside rail of the Lionel fast track.  I still get no response from the controler . 

 

Help !  Can anyone suggest something that I should do to fix this situation.  I am getting totally frustrated with this situation and need some help.  

 

Thanks.
