I've got a brand new 6-11117 4-4-2 Atlantic steam loco that I've finally taken out of the box. Made in 2008. The loco works great except I can't control the smoke output with my CAB 2 remote. I am able to control smoke level on other locos, so I don't think there is anything wrong with my remote or base. I've programmed the loco manually and with the orange fob, same result (and the switch is back on 'run'.)
With the loco's smoke switch off, there is no smoke -- as expected. With the loco's smoke switch on, I get a modest amount of smoke -- most likely the equivalent of low or medium (I hope, because it isn't much.) Anyway, hitting the smoke up/down buttons on the Cab 2 has no effect -- most obviously, I'm not able to turn smoke off with the remote -- I can hear the fan continue to pulse and of course see smoke as the loco moves forward, no matter how many times I press "smoke down." All other functions such as sounds and speed and dialogue seem to work fine.
Before I have it repaired, I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone might have a suggestion to try. I can't seem to find a way to hard-reset this loco -- everything I've found on resetting seems to be for TMCC locos.
Your time and wisdom is appreciated!
