Eric, try this comparative test:
Remove the Zmodell wagon
Reprogram any other Loco (on Program Track or just simply a new decoder in a Loco)
Place the default Address 3 Loco on the track.
Try the test again.
(It’s not really the same, but a data point as I can’t remember seeing this effect. However, that’s because we use 2 function decoders. The ultimate test would be the TCS ‘AZL4’ to see if the F1 and/or F2 functions work).
When you do these power ups, is it just one Loco or 2+? If just the Zmodell car, it may be the surge current when powering up. The Cab many not be able to read ‘is there a 3 addressed Loco’ in time (firmware issue). If so, try: Select Loco, 3, just to let the Cab know ‘it’s there’ but I am not sure how there start up polling works. I doubt it does, as any/loco would ‘pulse’ when it poles, as it uses motor current to acknowledge.
More locos would seemingly make it work

but I can say that I have something "more" than other modellers, thanks to her). BTW I read that some "cinema" railroad cars existed in the past, too, but they can't be found as models, at least in Z scale.
