Again: Train starts and runs at full speed, out of control!
Per Olsen:
Hello.
You might have seen my earlier posts on this problem. I have had this problem a long time, and many times I was sure I had fixed it. But it keeps coming back. I am using a TAMS controller, all train-decoders have been disabled for analogue control, etc. You may see in my earlier messages here in this forum.
Anyway. It happened again today. And luckily, I had my son with me as it happened (me and my son own this layout together) this time.
No trains were running. No automatic or anything else was active. I did have one loc-control open on the screen. My son and I were discussing a total different matter, when all of a sudden, we both saw the loc-control suddenly advanced the speed of the loco from zero to full speed! I looked down at the TAMS, and it also advanced from zero to full speed. I had to stop it by pressing the red STOP button before I had an accident!
I do not like to say this, but it seems to me that this MUST be something the WDP is doing on its own? Have I mis-configured something to make this happen? What else could it be? It certainly cannot me a decoder-problem, which I used to think. And it cannot be the TAMS that gave the full speed, because if it was, the display on the screen would not show the increased speed from the TAMS (this we checked later).
Now I am afraid to start my layout again. I do not want to have more crashes like this.
And, I must say, this problem can come 2-3 times a day, or it can go weeks between each time. It happened 2 times today (the first time I did not happen to look at the loc-control), and it has been a few months since last time. So very irregular..
What can I do? I must have this fixed now, I cannot continue with this big problem. Please help!! :) :)
Regards,
Per.

Hello Per,
is there always the loco control of the loco affected open?
Maybe a defect at the End Button on the keyboard (this sets a loco control to max speed)
Other possibilities are of course dispatcher task which call loco macros (I hope you don´t do such things...).
Another idea: open train inspector (F7 window) and monitor if there are still commands visible even if all routes have been released.

Hello Markus!
I did not touch the keyboard, it could of course maybe malfunction anyway.. No, the loco control of the affected loco is normally not open, so I have not seen this before. The first incident earlier today, the loco control of the loco running wild, was not open. It was just "luck" that it was open on the last incident.
I did not know that the end button would put it to full speed (I probably should have known..?). But can that happen, also to locos with not open loco control?
No, I do not have any dispatcher task that calls any loco macros.
I can try the F7 window next time. If I dare to restart WDP, that is.... But also, in this case today, I had not run any automatics, no routes, nothing, since I started the PC. So there should be nothing left that would show up in F7, I think..?
Regards,
Per.

Absolutely no.

That´s correct. Remaining parts could there only be from former routes etc.
Then I have absolutely no idea.
Maybe you upload a backup to the forum so when can take a look at your data.
But to be honest: no idea, the only know cases are the one if mentoined in my first post.
Regards
Markus

P.S: You did also not use the app before? And you use no joystick with WDP? Are there other throttles or components like the SniffControl connected to the EasyNet of the Tams?
