I received my new Lionel Legacy A-6 Illinois Central a month ago and it has been running fine in Legacy. I also checked out its Bluetooth and Conventional operation and both were ok.

If I were you, I'd do a bit of troubleshooting as follows in order to isolate what the issue might be. Whatever caused the smoke (fried resistor? too much smoke fluid? etc), might have caused the loco ID to drop off. So, with smoke switch in 'off' position, I'd switch to PGM and try to reprogram the loco again via your Legacy controller. I've had locos with somewhat intermittent PGM/RUN switches that would lose their ID after programming, but self-healed themselves after five or so switch movements from RUN to PGM and back again.

Next, I'd check the loco for Conventional operation. Next I'd check the loco for Bluetooth operation.

Upon trying these several troubleshooting steps, you'll better understand what may or may not be going on with your loco.
