[quote user="gmpullman"]Is yours so marked? Maybe BLI uses several suppliers but it shouldn't be too difficult to sort out the wiring.[/quote] No, and that was only a side gripe. Update, Programmed the locomotive to 1234, it works. Next I tried a higher 4 digit number, 6000, it works as well. Tried 6207, still doesnt work. Next 6307, works.  Which is where I will leave it for the moment.  Next I chose at random a locomotive to test whether the command station is functioning improperly.  Picked an Proto 1K RS2 with a NCE D13SRJ.  Programmed it to 6207.  It headlights turned off and on but no motor control.  I programmed it back to its original address 6202, and one of my 9043MACs started rolling.  Cause identified, the motor function on the decoder burned out by being held at a high speed stall current (removed decoder and re-installed dummy plug, tested sat on DC).  [#oops] Picked a second P1K RS2 with D13SRJ programmed to 6207.  It ran correctly.  Would my next step be to select a different BLI paragon 2 product and attempt to program to 6207?
