Looks like I do not have good luck with these MTH SD70s. I just got an FEC SD70M-2 in today. It is brand new from ebay. I placed it on the track tonight and started it up using its default address of 3. It started up fine and ran good at low speed back and fourth. Next I went to program the unit to its cab number. MTH has instuctions stating that using CV29 enter value of 38 and the cab number will be automatically assigned. So I did so just like I have on my other SD70ACes and M-2s from MTH but for some odd reason the unit did not respond to its newly assigned cab number of 105 yet it honked the horn when I programmed the CV..(The horn lets you know it programmed something). So it was still idiling with sound and I kept trying to get it to respond to address 105...Nothing worked. I tried address 3 thinking it did not program or something. No reponse. I tried other FEC M-2 cab numbers(ya never know right?) lol but sadly nothing worked. I shut down the track and now I am typing this hoping someone could tell me what to do. I tried the whole CV55 thing to reset the engine but without knowing the cab number I cannot do so...
