Thanks guys for your information. I reset both trains with my DCS remote controller just like you said. It did work for both trains but I think the two trains are drawing to much power. The fuse on the transformer keeps tripping.  I have onle the one that came with the starter kit.(Z-DC1). Input 120vhz  47w,  output  17.2 VDC , 19.2 w max. If I need a more pwerful transformer what  would you suggest?  Also after all of this when I put the new train(0-6-0) 30-1658-1 , on hte track the fuse is being trip? to much power from this engine?    Thanks once again Glenn

"https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/topic/what-is-a-good-estimate-of-the-max-amperage-that-would-support-most-o-gauge-trains"  Use this link for a subject currently being discussed.  There have been a lot of good responses and I think it will give you a lot of insight by the gurus.  Yes GRJ, you are a guru in my opinion.
