Oh! that's annoying, but at least you've narrowed the problem down.

It may not be the cable could be a loose wire in the dt602 socket, I wouldn't suggest trying another cable till you hear back from them, just in case using another cable makes it worse.
 
Weird thing is the dt602 would say % of power as if I went from 25 % to 30% and train would move again but the stop somewhere else on track until i move throttle again .. Dcs51 was constant no matter where I left speed handle , crawling along it would crawl all the way around layout .

That's why I'm thinking there's a problem with the dt602, either cable/socket or internal.

If you used the steal button , the loco address will still be selected on the dcs51 and you will get situation. Be sure to dispatch/or release the adress from the DCS 51. I hope this helps. Jon
