Michael,
I helped Ed get his new engine working, so the DCS working fine.
Here is what I did:
1. Put engine in the track on the corner module the power cart is
plugged into.
2. Note the track you put the engine on.
3. On the middle shelf, there is a box that has banana plugs that
are currently all in TPC 1-4. Take the plug for the track your
engine is on and move it to the other plug (Fixed or Variable DCS) -
it doesn't matter which.
4. Make sure the switch next to that box for the TIU is on.
5. Using a CAB1, turn on the power to the track the engine is on
(Note: The power will go up on the voltage meter, but the engine
lights will remain off).
6. Turn on the DCS Remote.
7. Press Menu->System->Engine Setup->Add Engine->Add
MTH Engine
8. At this point, the DCS system will search for your engine. If
it is found, the screen will refresh with the engine information.
If it does not, do #7 again. If it does not work again, try the
other DCS Remote.
9. Press the "3" button to Start Up the engine.
10. Once the engine has started up, it is good to go.

Someone’s going to have to show me how to get DCS
running on the layout. My new Proto2 engine is in, and I
spent an hour trying to get the remote to see the engine. I
finally gave up.

We have two or three locomotives there but
feel free to bring it if you want.

I had been planning to volunteer once I
got back from my dive trip to Bonaire. While I'll be
unavailable on December 26th, I CAN show up Saturday.

BTW I do have an MTH loco we can use for those visitors
who would like to run something.
Should I bring it along?

Saturday we will be running trains from
noon to 5:00 pm. This has been super for the club
and fun for those that have been there running
trains. If possible, come on out and enjoy running
trains with friends. The more support we have, the
easier it is on everyone. Four to five members seems
to work well. More is better. I probably will not be
able to stay long as I have other activities so
hopefully others will show up for some fun. Hope to
see you there.
