Considering the OP's engine had hair wrapped around the axles and bent rods. I would say the motor in that locomotive has led a hard life. Good chance its getting weak and takes a min to move once given power. I would bet that a fresh motor or the upgrade to a bigger motor would solve the issue. A built in delay in a sound engine might be part of the programming, but not in a non sound locomotive with just an air whistle. AD
