I think a 16/02 would be better suited to the main feed.
"Not very stable, but incredibly versatile."

16/0.2 would be better, but there is something else wrong.
How are you connecting the two track feed wires to the rails?
Have you stripped sufficient insulation from both ends of these wires to allow a good connection?
Of course when starting to set off you press 'Loco' button and the display should shows 'Loco' and you then enter the locos decoder number, which is 3 by default on all new decoders unless you have altered it to something else? Then press 'Enter' and use the speed knob to move the loco.
BTW which Prodigy is it. Express ² or Advance ² ?
