I wonder if the issue
is that the selected locos are already in the Extended Slots in the DCS240,
which, because Digitrax have not released the Loconet specs that define
how these slots are accessed and used, JMRI and JMRI connected throttles
such as WiThrottle can't access. I bet you can run those trains with a
DT500 or a DT402 that has been upgraded to 2.1, and also that they won't
run with an old DT400 or DT402 1.7 or below.
There is a fix:
turn off extended slots and then clear all the slots. ?Then the DCS240
will only use the traditional 12 slots. ?
To turn off DCS240
extended slots, set OPSW 44= C, as described in the manual ?
section 5 pages 31 to 35. ? Once you've done that, then clear the
clots with the purge slot button, also called the Loco Reset button, manual
section 4.14 page 28.
You may well then
find that it all works as expected. ?Or you may not, there may be
something else wrong....
If you must use
the extended slots, then don't select a loco with a DT500 or DT402 V2.1
first, because that will place it in the extended slots and make it invisible
to older throttles such as JMRI.
