I noticed that there is a auction nearby me that has engines, cars and accessories for what looks like S, O with some 1:24 and 1:64 vehicles. It's around the corner from Brenda's Kitchen, they ship, but if need be, I could pick anything within reason up and ship it to you. They have another auction going with some HO as well.

Just thought I'd give you a heads-up if you're interested, the  first link is: HERE  and the second one is  HERE They both end on Monday, Nov 1. You will have to register to bid.

Can someone possibly help me out?

When it comes to dcc I am a fossil at best, anyway I have a athearn genesis mp15 with a flashing beacon light on the roof. 
Basically I made an error not sure how & did a factory reset cv 8 to 8 & as a result I've lost the beacon light function. Instead when I press function 5 the engine throttles up slightly. I've tried to look over the manual to see if I can see anything about programming the light to work but I cannot see anything. 

Could someone please tell me what to do to get it working again.

A model railroader that I knew passed away suddenly a few months ago. He had a fairly large layout, double decked 45X 15' that was very well detailed. I always admired his work and when he passed I wished I could get a section of his layout to use as a diorama, or even incorporate it into my layout. 
My friend and I were wondering what happened to his layout since we weren't involved in the take down on it but a few weeks ago some of his equipment started to show up on Ebay. and this past week the section of the layout that I had always wanted went up for sale. Here's a few pictures of the section 'Hemsley' taken in 2016 while it was on his layout:

   

   

Hemsley was built by another model railroader that I knew and the owner of this layout incorporated it into this one. I believe the structures are a mix of scratchbuilt and Campbells.
Anyway, Hemsley was for sale for the low price of 26$ and I only had to think about it for about 3 seconds before hitting the 'buy in now' button. Yesterday My friend and I drove about an hour away to pick it up. This is what I got:

   

   

The section is 41X15" unfortunately it was removed with either a Jig saw or Sawz-all and the sides and back cuts are a bit butchered as well as the track.

Missed the engine power on WPMA-61 which had all empty grain cars for the Agway and Declan grain elevators.  Caught CR 7560 (GP10), the power for WPMA-29, running light thru Lubbers Run.

I went to a swap meet last Saturday. Both to buy and sell. Did well on both counts.
   

I hadn't seen this many Juneco orange boxes since a 90's hobby shop. I even found the super-rare 'O' scale CN express reefer kit.
I also found one of the branchline blueprint series Canadian Pacific single window coach, after which a friend gave me three more. Which brings me to my question

   

The car kits come pre decorated in what they call 40's-50's CPR red. I have never seen this color before and if they were trying to replicate CPR Tuscan red it seems a little too light compared to the Factory painted C-liner and my Rivarossi pullman that I airbrushed wit Scalecoat's CPR tuscan. Did CP have this color or was Branchline's paint matcher out of it when choosing the red?
