mth ho sd70's won't hold engine number change
Posted by flyfisher56 on Sunday, July 24, 2022 7:23 PM

Converted from DCS to DCC.  Running 7 mth ho sd70's on the layout.  Before switching over I reset all 7 to factory settings using the DCS system.  Now two of the engines will accept a change from Engine #3 to some other number and will actually operate under the new number until I turn off the power.  When the power is turned back on the engine seems to have forgotten the new number and will respond only as engine #3.  The other 5 sd70's converted successfully and retained their new numbers, three as part of a consist.  Hope someone has some experience with this and helpful advice.  Thanks.
