But does anyone know if the weird delayed start thing is normal?
This sort of sounds like my Lionel Santa Fe FT diesel locomotive from the El Capitan starter set that was made somewhere around 2007. There is a slight delay to it starting to move as the "Trainsounds" system simulates the engine starting up. Seems odd for a conventional steam locomotive with an air whistle in the tender to need a delay, but I suppose Lionel has done stranger things before...
