What are the steps you are following?
If you follow the TMCC instructions to the T it should work.
I'm assuming your using TMCC.

he has posted in the DCS forum
lash-ups must see the watch dog signal on power up else they won't move, however it seems your problem is a little different, the lead engine will move. (back to square 1)
That's why I asked him for his steps to build the lash up. I figured it would be easier to see if he was going wrong, rather than try to guess. I'm guessing he has a day job and will be back online in the evening. 
I had this same issue the very first time I ever made a lashup in DCS. I deleted the lashup and started from scratch and it worked.
Sorry guys - My power went out last night from a storm shortly after I posted this & I've been tied up at work this morning. Just to clarify, For this - I'm using DCS with MTH engines. I have some TMCC engines, but everything is still run via DCS.
here are the exact steps I'm doing -
2 engines are placed on the track
track power is turned on
on the DCS remote -
Menu/Advanced/Create Lash Up/MTH Lash Up/Add Engine/Pick engine/Head Engine/Fwd/Add Engine/Pick Engine/Tail Engine/Reverse/Lash Up Name/Press 3 on the keypad to start up lashup
both engines start up & are online. Functions work as they should for a lashup - couplers, lights, horn, bell, etc.
Go to move them out & only the front engine moves. I've tried with different engines, same result. Also tried to change the address of the lashup - same result.
Any idea?
Are both engines in the active list when you go to your lashup?
Yes, both the engines I'm picking are in the active list
With the 2 engines uncoupled but close together what happens when you go to your lashup?
Does the rear engine operate correctly when it's out of the lashup?
If multiple engines do the same thing when attempting this, it seems something isn't right.
Have you tried selecting the lash up and starting it up that way, making sure you have not selected the lead engine somehow? (If that doesn't work, for a test what happens if you delete the lash up and reverse the two engines?) Once in a while we have had lash ups with horn and bell in both engines, no idea why, the others only head light and coupler work on trailing engine.
DCS level and engine numbers? One TIU?
Also does your remote display (L) beside of your lashup?
Chris,
You are not alone in this, I've been having similar problems with my lashups on Proto 3.0 diesels. They work fine separaetly, but in a lashup they will do everything except move.
Deleted then re-added several times finally gets them to work together, but upon shutdown and idle for a while, the problem starts all over again the next day. Yes, I have updated DCS to 4.30 and am beginning to wonder if it is a glitch in the updgrade?
What rev. in DCS does your's show?
My DCS is 4.10 ( I know I need to update it) I dont think that would cause the issue though. I have 20 different MTH engines I've tried this with. All of them work correctly when running as a single unit. When the lashup is created, It does show the (L) next to the name

I've tried swapping the engines around & the trailer still sits dead. Yes, I'm using 1 TIU to 2 tracks via the variable outputs. DCS is 4.10 Engines are in the 1-20 address range
Is your remote 4.10 as well?
