Legacy & Remote & Command Base work together.   Other TMCC engines entered work.  2-8-8-2 will not take a command at the Proctor Historical Museum Layout.

...Back to the Museum layout.   Reconnected Legacy Command Base   setting the frequency # and pairing the # with the Legacy remote.  Reinstalling engine # 35 in the remote. No horn or flashing light.

Is it the only engine that exhibits this problem at the museum?

We also have a older TMCC Base disconnected and a Remote with an Antenna.  Could the Remote interfere even not in use?

It shouldn’t unless connected and someone was mashing the buttons.

Because the engine is big heavy and articulated instead of removing it from the Track on and off I merely shut the power off and the Transformer off.  Then go through the Program & Run procedures.  Is this wrong?

No, removing power from the track is fine, but before you do, just make sure the Legacy remote is done storing all the settings.

This sounds to me like a signal problem. It could be a weak connection to the antenna on the locomotive, or maybe a bad ground on the power supply for the Legacy command base.
