I missed the occupancy issue, can you provide a little more detail on what is going on? Is it not working period or is it the failure to flash when occupied?

I spent a couple hours at the club today--mostly track cleaning. I used two of my hard-pulling analog locos on the track-cleaning car train The first time around on the freight line there were a number of spots where a single engine would have stalled due to dirty track and dirty wheels--the second engine was able to keep the train moving. I had to clean the loco wheels after each round trip (also the cleaning cars). By the fourth round trip the engine headlight seldom flickered, so the track was getting cleaner. I know that several of you have been hand-scrubbing the tracks and running the track-cleaning train, so I am not sure what mechanism is re-depositing dirt on the tracks. I ran the passenger line also with similar behavior.

My observation was the roller-car cleaners are worthless--at least there was no accumulation of gunk on the rollers. The Masonite scrubbing cars did pick up gunk. Frankly, I believe my locos picked up more gunk than any of the cars--of course they were leading the train.

As someone else noted, the block occupancy detector system is not functioning.
