I have seen afew of the Acela sets that needed the R2LC board pulled and reseated.  Pin 24 on the R2LC  (serial) needs to be seated well so you will get the serial data to work the cars.

Thanks. Seems to me if one car works, the R2LC is not the problem...I hope.  I now noticed one pantograph on the non-powered does not respond anymore.  Ahem.
