Hi all,
This is my first post!
I have two HOm Bemo locomotives using Lenz Std decoders. In the real world these two locos normally run in consist, and so I am trying to run them as such on my layout.
Problem is that when I experience a brief short circuit on the layout (for whatever reason), and the NCE system reboots itself, these two locos will both have lost their configuration settings. I then have to do a factory reset on test track, and reconfigure them individually.
This is odd because normally when this happens, the NCE system reboots and all locomotives pick up where they left off. But not these two?
It's been suggested that I replace both decoders, but I'm not sure this will help?
Is it a known problem with Lenz? Is it something to do with running in consist?
Any thoughts?
