i would not worry about the ID issue but most likely it will take a trip to Concord, NC to reset. Charles Ro took care of this for me before sending the set my way.

Donald,
Oh, yes; yesterday, from Western Depot. I had intended to post this bit of information, but forgot.
Anyway, I called them Saturday, and the cordial man with whom I spoke looked up the specific SF PA-A set, said that they had sold several, and had not experienced any issues. He also told me that they test (always?) the engines before shipping them.
I added a note to my order (online) regarding our Saturday conversation to remind them to test the engines before they ship them to me. In my note, I included the fact that the ‘lost-ID’ issue is well known, that Lionel knows about it and will fix the problem, and that the dealer usually sends the set to Lionel for repair.
I’ll let you know the outcome.
Thanks!
Alex
