John B, I thought the very same thing after running a friends B6. Best engine I ever ran. I assumed my new Legacy 0-8-0 where it featured a wired tether tying everything together would run just as well. What a dissapointment. $800.00 shelf piece.

Dave,

  My friend Kevin’s Erie 0-8-0 was from the first Legacy release (no tether) but i never heard that he had any issues with the engine. My other friend Ray purchased the Bethlehem Steel set Lionel offered during the second Legacy release (had a tether) but never saw it running). If I remember correctly the second release of the 0-8-0s was before Lionel had the “steam switcher” option in the Legacy locomotive type options when setting up the engine in Legacy. I could be wrong on this but wonder if you tried this option when running your 0-8-0. I also remember the complaints when the second Legacy release took place but the died down quickly (unlike the Mogul’s complaints lasted quite some time.
