there are times when the engine will start off on its own, after picking it up and placing it back on the track (with the transformer powered up to ~80%).
If you're placing an engine directly on powered track, with all due respect, that's a very bad thing to do and can cause severe damage to the engine's electronics.
As far as the engine starting up conventionally when you do so, that's normal since the engine will have missed the DCS watchdog signal.
