That's strange. I run my red and green PS2 Lo-V sets occasionally under the Christmas tree (powered by a z-1000 without DCS) in conventional mode and they always start up properly in conventional without the speed control engaged. I have run a few of my PS-3 in conventional on my DCS controlled main layout, but i always go into the DCS menu and set it to conventional. I assumed it turns back to command when it received the DCS signal on its next run session, telling it to start up in command mode. This is what happens with my PS2 engines when I run them in conventional on my DCS powered tracks in the same manner. From what you are saying, the PS-3 engines revert back to command speed control even without receiving a DCS command signal. That's a ridiculous design by MTH and is very different from the PS-2 models. When I get a chance, I'll set up a carpet loop and test it out and see if I get the same result as you on a sampling of my PS-3 engines.
