CAB-1L & Base-1L problems

Changing the channel is easy, but if two of your locomotives work properly everywhere on the layout and others don't, I can't see this being a remote to base communication issue, it sounds more like track signal.  I'd be checking the grounding of the power adapter to the wall outlet, maybe something happened to the grounding in your house?

Firstly no way that’s a Cab-1L if it’s 15 years old. The original Cab-2 is barely that old. Easy way to tell the difference between then the original Cab-1 and Cab-1L is the original is grey plastic and has a external antenna the new Cab-1L is Blue plastic and no external antenna.

No matter witch one you have easy way to know of the base is getting commands from the remote is anytime a command is sent the red light on the base should blink.

Thanks for your suggestion John.  It was a grounding problem.

I love the easy solutions.

Zachariah, you didn't read the whole first post!

I had a CAB-1 & BASE-1 that I used for running 5 trains. I had not operated them since mid 2020. Now they are not moving properly and stop with no commands from the remote so I thought that the remote was not working properly since it is at least 15 + years old. I upgraded the base and remote to 1L.

Well that’s what I get I obviously missed that.
I also love easy solutions to the contrary I seem to try to find a way to make it more complicated
