I cannot clear a consist setting on the one and only cab. I have followed the directions in the users manual with no luck. Does anyone know of a way to ser the cab back to its original setting?

Hi Ray:

You're not likely going to appreciate my response:

Buy an NCE system. Full featured, intuitive, reliable.

Following the MRC instructions has always worked for me. 
 
Clearing Advanced Consists
1. Press
CONSIST
until “Cons cLr” flashes in the display. Then press
ENTER
.
2. “Cons#” will display, prompting you to input the consist number. Enter
number of the consist you want to clear and press
ENTER
.
Once you clear the consist, each loco will respond immediately to its
original speed command.
 
Note
If you forget the consist number, each loco’s address in the consist must be
reprogrammed on the Program Track, or program CV19 to zero.
 
 
I rarely clear my consists so this morning I did clear a consist that uses a pair of MRC 0001730 Decoders using the above instructions, it worked first try.
 
If you have older decoders that don’t except advanced consisting you have to use the decoder address and reset CV19 to 0.
