How are you programming the unit exactly?
Did you check for any special instructions with the locomotive? Some sound-equipped engines require different programming procedures to change the address. Broadway Limited Imports, and a few others come to mind.
While CV17, 18, and 29 still do their function, some sound decoders require changing other CVs before hand, but this is usually listed out step by step in the instruction manual.
Are you prgramming on the main, or a programming track? Are you programming the locomotive manually or through NCE's "STD" option that walks you through all the base settings?
Some sound decoders won't program on the "programming track" without a booster, because the decoder requires more power to run (programming tracks usually run at a lower power to avoid damage if something is wrong).
Programming on the main should solve that problem, but then I've seen people with similar locomotives have trouble there to, and so far I haven't seen a good answer.
