You have factory EOB in those engines. Sounds like the cruise is off. Use the following sequence to turn cruise on in 128 step mode:

ENG + ## + DIR + AUX1 + AUX1 + AUX1 (you will hear whistle/horn blast) + 2 (you will hear whistle/horn blast)

In this mode, you can hit BOOST and the engine should start and run in speed step 1. Holding onto the coupler, you should feel the engine try to pull harder. 

Attached you will find instructions for accessing the different EOB modes in command mode using the CAB-1 or CAB-2.

Well, I got home and went straight to the layout to give this a try. Selected the engine with the DCS remote, pressed Direction, Toggled AUX1 on and off three times (fast) and heard the horn, lastly presses 2 key, heard horn blast again and voila!!! She runs smooth as glass.

You my friend are a gentleman and a scholar!

I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate everyone on this forum. This has to be the best tool in the O Gauge Hobby.

P.s. I saved the document in my "Train Docs" folder

Thanks!
