Hello Arnold, I read every one of your posts and this one has struck me like a hammer.
I have a 24 ft. by 8ft. layout and I had added Cab1/L for ease of use. However, when the pandemic hit us all, I tended to run the layout less and now I am unable to demonstrate it to others because I cannot get the trains to run. I disconnected the Cab1/L to no avail and although the ambient sounds seem to work, I cannot get the trains to run conventually. My power supply is a Lionel ZW-C and I am considering removing the control unit and the 4 power blocks and lugging them to my nearest model train store to have them checked out because I know of no model railroad technician, who lives close enough to me in Haverhill, MA to trouble shoot my layout. That is my current stress!

Try reaching out to the Boston Metro Hi-Railers Model Railroad Club...they are based in Wilmington and maybe someone would be willing to help!
