Had the same problem, was going to give the new ballast a dark wash, but instead laid a few old ties about, as if they had replaced and topped the ballast up, may still tone it down!
Todays project was to finish Embarq logistics(see picture 1st June above), been scratching my head how to finish the end of the building, well i think i've cracked

After months of testing, i've decided to replace the servos operating my turnouts, they worked ok 99% of the time ,but i had that "what if" moment in the back of my mind, so back to the tried and test bike spoke, which has never fail me (famous last words) in the past.
Also got the last of the stock 2 more Guilford box cars, just a couple of small jobs to do and were ready for when the exhibitions start up again.
just tried my Peckett which i think has a R8249 in, on Programme track ,f8, DIR,ADR PUT #8720 in, worked, but when i came to change it back to #4,error 02, only way i could change number was a factory reset, try a reset then add your number
think your going to have to do cv29,then cv17,18,if that's how i read the instruction, cv1 only excepts #1-127,try putting a 2 digit number ie 87,if it works you'll have to go down the cv29 route
