@VegasTrains Hi Dad! Thanks to all chiming in on this thread and helping getting this Hudson up and running correctly once again. I've moved away from Lionel Legacy but kept this steamer as it's a personal favorite. As mentioned, stored for several years and ran great before storage approximately 2 years ago.
@cbojanower is right, the Cab-2 and physically holding it over the engine only increases signal, same effect your hand would. It's the base with antenna transmitting commands to engine. My layout when this thing last ran had my legacy base positioned above the train board. I'm wondering if your base that's physically positioned below your layout is giving weak signal to this particular engine? When you input commands and had delayed feedback on commands that may have occurred when the engine was on the far side of layout then picked up signal when back physically by the base?
Let's test the theory and get the base up in direct physical communication above layout. Perhaps newer Legacy models have a stronger antenna in them than my Hudson? -Eric
