OK.....Hold the phone......I have two separate layouts so it is easy for me to swap my WIUs back and forth (see post above) so I thought I would do some more swapping and see if I could figure out what was going on. Upon doing so one of my older WIUs that were working perfect when swapped above started to act just like the new one and said "Request Timed Out" when I attempted to add an MTH engine. So I swapped phones and tablets, and WIUs back and forth and even got the same message on the other layout before I swapped anything and it was running perfect before the last shutdown. Now I was really going nuts but after only retrying the same add engine request without doing any swapping or touching anything else it all of a sudden started to work perfect again. So now I am second guessing, did I not wait long enough for the WIU to come on board even though all the lights were lit, TIU, Power, and WiFi?
So I tried the other layout with one of the older WIUs and still got the same timed out message. I then removed the one Lionel TMCC engine and the other MTH Proto 2 engine from my layout and again attempted to add my one MTH Proto 3 engine and this time it worked perfect. So I shut everything down, swapped in my new WIU that had never worked right, fired everything up, and the new WIU would now add my MTH engine and work perfect.
My conclusion after being a bit dizzy from all of this swapping is that possibly the other two engines on the track, the MTH Proto 2 and the Lionel TMCC may have somehow interfered with the adding of the MTH Proto 3 engine. This does not explain why the other layout without touching anything but using the same tablet to run both did screw up that one time.
It is still a bit of a mystery and I am now wondering if there is a bug in the latest app software v3.1.0 ??
Anyhow please disregard my conclusion on my first post as there does not now seem to be any problem with the WIU itself, as I said before I am now feeling dizzy and either need to lay down or have a stiff drink. :-)
