Thanks, Ted S and Choochoo1972.

I should have been more clear. I already exchanged this engine once because of a problem. I don't want to hold onto this one if it has problems too. I'm trying to determine if I should keep it.

I know next to nothing about Legacy engines. This is my first one and I don't even have Legacy yet. I'm controlling it with the Universal Remote and the app. I just want to make sure I'm not holding onto an engine that's not working correctly.

It's fine with me if it's slow. It does pull. I hooked it up to a consist of a dummy engine and a seven cars (4 of which were heavy, die-cast hoppers. It had no problem pulling it.

I realize you haven't seen it operate but does this sound okay to you guys: slower than most engines but pulls good? If that's the way a Legacy switcher is supposed to perform, then so be it. Thanks.
