NEED DCC HELP!!!

I have a dumd question i think, when i have 3 trains running 2 dcc one dc,and hit the stop button for one of the dcc locos ,why do they all stop until you start the one you stopped???
I am running the prodidgy unit and 2 atlas locos ,plus a little ol bachman,
i program one loco to address 2 and the other to 16,
thanks for your help…
Are there any good instructions for running the feeder wires? Maybe that would help me here…

Noo DCC experience here but lots of reading. Are you confusing the :panic stop" with the regular button to stop your loco?
Just my $.03 worth (Canadian funds)

Dunno about Prodigy, but on Digitrax, you can configure the stop button either way. One way, one press merely stops YOUR loco, the ne you are controlling, the rest keep running. A second press is full-on emergency stop, they ALL stop. Or you can configure it as ‘global’ so that one press stops EVERYTHING.
It sounds like yours is behaving a global stop. See if there’s an option to configure it.

The stop button on the Prodigy is essentially an emergency stop button for everything. Thats the way it is designed to work, it stops all power to the bus not just the loco you have dialed up.

Thanks for the replies,I guess that would be good option to have the total stop when you needed it…
thanx again
