I run a Standard gauge loop on the perimeter of my layout and O-gauge inside of that. I was running my Standard gauge when I unintentionally hit the red button when I really wanted to activate the protocast. I have tried everything I could find in the users manual to try to get back to where I was before the goof-up from resetting track, the remote and the TIU, the later by unplugging it. Nothing I do allows me to set up my engines again. This is true even for my O-gauge which was not being used when I hit the wrong button. I had been set up with fixed channels but tried without success going to variable, which by the way I could never get to work even right out of the box. I don't know if it's me or the equipment that is the problem. I didn't think that hitting the red button would have fatal consequences but nothing I have tried seems to work. I have been using aux. power via MTH Z1000 even when in fixed mode and I was fine with that even though fixed doesn't require backup. So I tried restoring in fixed without the AUX and noticed that the red light in the TIU could be seen when I powered up track 1 but not when I powered up track 2 . Then my Standard gauge loco on track 2 started working conventionally. I have no clue right now and hope someone has answers.
