This is going to be very difficult to explain, but I'll try my best. BTW, this is all DCC.
My system is a Digitrax Zephyr Xtra. I have groups of locos that are MU'ed together, simple enough. There's a few units such as my 44 tonner and my VO1000 for switch and industrial jobs. I haven't run the VO1000 in a while because a very irresponsible model RR decided to do a childish thing and see how fast it goes while I wasn't looking and ran it into a spur which had ballast at the far end with wet glue and ballast. Not all was lost as I quickly cleaned it out and ran like a beauty! ANWAYS, getting long winded here, sorry....I put it away for a little bit because of layout changes and didn't have the need for it. This is the Atlas USS VO1000 #132. I haven't cleaned my wheel sets on my locos, so I went ahead and did so. Last unit up to the "wash bay", #132. Put it on the tracks, throttled it up, and 2 of my other locos that were in the trailing position in the 2 different consists throttled up! Now, I know I haven't MU'ed the 2 units with the VO1000, but went ahead and unlinked the 2 in question and then MU'ed them to their consist again. Throttled up again, same thing. I changed the address from 132 to the ordinary number 3, same thing. Reset decoders on all three in question, renumbered them back to their unit numbers, MU'ed everything back to the way it was, same thing. It does it when nothing is MU'ed either. It's like those 2 units, which have a digitrax and TCS decoder, MU themselves to the VO1000, which I have no idea what decoder that is. LENZ probably? Anyone have ANY clue as to what is going on here?

Ben:
No specific idea what is causing your problem but it sounds like the VO1000s number is the same as your consist number. Try resetting your Zephyr via the OPsw setting.

Perfect! Thank you!
