ESU loco sound is fine, won't move

Group;
Just before my open house was to start Sunday AM, while I was testing signals, my ESU 48823 Loksound 5 Micro wired sound decoder equipped loco stopped responding. It had been sitting on a siding idling for a while.

Lights and sound respond correctly, had a newbie at the throttle before it was stopped on the siding, wondering if he pressed some key combination. Ideas?

Kind regards,
Bill

"Drive hold"?  Try pressing F9.

Yes, that was exactly it. The operator forgot about drive hold and tried to turn off the sound for awhile and instead hit drive hold. Thanks to all....

Will get to sleep tonight...


Kind regards,
Bill
