Reply to "Problem adding engines"

I turned off power to the TIU overnight but when I powered up today this didn't solve the problem. The remote still won't recognize the two engines.

I did discover one other problem engine today: a C&O Allegheny (20-3115-1). This engine ran as recently as last weekend, but today when I tried to start the engine on the track I got the message "Engine not on track." I tried it on the test track with the same result. But when I accidentally attached the power cord from the tender to the engine with power on the track, the engine started. The lights came on, sounds came on, steam, etc. But I couldn't turn off the engine except by turning off track power. When I tried to start the engine by conventional means, the "Engine not on track" message appeared. My suspicion is that these engines are OK but that something is wrong with the TIU or remote, but I don't know where to go from here.
