@Chuck K posted:I had a lot of trouble trying to program it in Legacy. Eventually I got it to take the number ID I was trying to assign. The problem is it doesn’t respond reliably to my Legacy signal. I have to try repeatedly to get it to start up or shut down, the speed control is all over the place, and I have no control over the smoke volume or forward/reverse.
The good news is that I then ran it with DCC, and it ran perfectly.
Chuck, do the Flyer's use the handrails as antennas like the O gauge Steam. What you described sound a bit like one of the handrails may be grounding itself to the loco. Maybe check that all spacers/grommets are in place?
Just a thought since you say it does run fine on DCC
