Adding an engine
William Brillinger:
Does "Set all speeds to zero" also set the speed of locos under the control of another throttle to zero too?
If not, it may be a handy shortcut.

No, "Set all speeds to zero" will inform other HC's that you pressed the button, but it's up to the persons running the other HC's to stop their trains themselves. The other HC's must also be detected and stored in your HC for this to work.
I can see the reason for that logic (your the one that's lost track of what your doing with running too many trains at once so why stop everyone else) but it also works as a disadvantage too (like a cornfield meet with someone else whose not paying attention); the Stop- Power off feature might get used for that last one but if you power the layout with something else other than a PWR-75 or PWR-56 then that won't work.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something but I still cannot run more than two consist without problems. Not all at once, but one after another. I tried calling up every engine in a consist individually, making sure the throttle was at 00, then waiting and then going to the next engine. No help. That method doesn't make any sense. I would think all the engines in a consist would get the same speed signal, at the same time, otherwise you would have a very poor running consist. If one engine gets a speed signal of 00, then they all would.
I tried the semi E -Stop button that sends 00 to all engines and that didn't help either.
I parked one consist on a yard lead and remove power from that track. Now there were only nine engines with RailPro decoders in them that had power. I cycled power to the HC-2 and tried running one of the remaining consist. No help. I then used the reset button to get the remaining consist running.
I might be missing something in the procedure to release the engines, but when there are only 9 RailPro decoders on the layout, and i still get the too many engines warning, then I'm really confused.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

I'm thinking that the engines you parked were still in the controller. Did you wait 10 seconds before shutting down the track power in that section?
