I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!! I watched Eric's Trains again and paid close attention to the directions and guess what? No really, guess. Ok I'll tell you. I used the wrong ID number. I thought when I reached that step, I was installing the 3rd locomotive, so I chose the 3 ID number. You have to use the 1 as a default. Did not know this, do now. I went to my room, got out the Lionel engine, ran the steps again, and Eureka, the engine started and ran fine. So. If anyone out there is reading this reply and is having the same problem, now you know, use 1, the default ID setting to install your engine, but, if you have more than one engine to install, Lionel engine, you will have to change the ID number to 2 or 3 or 5 or 8, whatever, just something other than 1. Why? Because to enter your second and third and fourth etc etc, engine you will need to have the 1 location open at all times until you finally get the last TMCC engine added.
Now I get to go downstairs and change my ID address to 2. Wish me luck, pray for me, possibly a candlelight vigil. I'm new at this folks I need all the help I can get.
