@gunrunnerjohn posted:Remember, the engine waking up in neutral only happens the FIRST time after the engine has run in command mode. Any succeeding power-up will be in forward! Even if the engine sits for weeks and has last run in conventional mode, if it doesn't see a TMCC track signal, it will take off like a rocket!
I have turned power to the track off and back on several times. The engine immediately wakes up in "conventional", with lights and sounds, but no movement / commands. Heck, I even tried switching my power master to conventional to see if it would run. It didn’t! The lights just raised and lowered with the voltage of the track.
