I did not unplug or shut off the legacy base after powering down the remote and the track power transformers were still on. I'm using Lionel Power Bricks and a DCS TIU (see picture). The restart happened after I moved the engine off of a turntable and onto a spur track which is in a roundhouse (see picture).  I have 8 spurs in the roundhouse and they all share the same block of power. Each spur consists of a 40 inch section of Atlas O straight track and I have the two outer rails tied together at one end. The roundhouse is 20 feet from the legacy station. Based on your comment about losing the legacy signal and because this is a new section of my layout with new wiring, etc., tonight I'll double check all wiring and voltages. The power to this section of the layout goes through one DPDT switch which I use to provide power to a programming track. I did a DCS signal check with an MTH engine and recorded a level 10 on all of the spurs. Is there a way to do a similar track signal check with the legacy remote? Thanks for your help.
