Does it restart? Have seen many Legacy steam engines drop the sound over a switch or crossing and sadly it does not restart automatically like a TMCC engine, it must be "reset" instead. The tender may also be loosing common with the insulated rails involved. It results in the same issue.

Another reason I prefer TMCC/RS to Legacy; this flaw is a bit absurd, and I do not put (gonna leak eventually) alkaline batteries in my locos. My Legacy USRA 2-6-6-2 cuts out and stays out; my TMCC/RS USRA 2-6-6-2 (and others) does not. Why is this acceptable? Or even designed?

I do seem to remember being able to do something to get the sounds to re-start short of a power cycle, but I forget what. Haven't run it in a while.

I shouldn't have to "do" anything.
