Did you program the original loco's number with the Powercab? I have heard that one of the NCE systems has trouble with higher cv numbers but not with basic address changes.
I don't see how, unless the loco was in a consist before, but is there a consist number programmed into CV17? If so set it to 0.

Have you tried doing a reset on the program track and then see if the loco works on 3. You will lose any other cv changes made.

If NCE is like Lenz the command station keeps a record of which addresses are in a consist and only sends the speed commands to the consist number, so until you clear the consist from the command station it would not send commands to the loco number. At least the problem has been cured.
