 I find that the issue with Yard mode is fixed when you're addressing an Engine, but not fixed when you're addressing a Train. 
I also notice that when you address a Legacy Train, a light-orange vertical bar appears toward the right end of the slider screen.  Does this bar have any purpose other than to indicate that you're addressing a Train as opposed to an Engine?

Keith, regarding the yard mode issue, can you please provide a more detailed description of the problem, including if your head-engine is TMCC or Legacy locomotive? If it's TMCC, you may be seeing normal behavior.

An orange line in the throttle indicates a Speed Limit has been set for that engine or train. Does that explain what you're seeing?

The Yard mode issue involves the direction of the locomotive varying based on the last direction of the loco before entering Yard mode.  It seems to me that, last week, when I posted about this, I found this to have been fixed when a Legacy Engine is being addressed, but not fixed when a Legacy Train is being addressed.  I just tried it again, and all I can say is that the direction function in Yard mode is working for both Legacy Engines and Legacy Trains!  If this was recently fixed with respect to Trains, thank you!

Also, thank you for explaining the meaning of the orange vertical line in the slider screen.  Although I didn't realize it, my Train did have a Speed Limit set for it; when I cleared the Speed Limit, the orange line disappeared.

I have been dealing with yet another issue with the iPad App.  My system has a BPC2 controlling 4 power blocks and 2 SC-2s controlling switches and accessories.  When I first set up the iPad App--which was just 2 or 3 weeks ago--I was running version 1.54 of Legacy.  It seems to me that the icons on the iPad App were operating the power blocks through the BPC2 and the switches and accessories through the SC-2s flawlessly.

A short while later, I updated my Legacy system to version 1.60.  Since then, the power blocks through the BPC2 continue to respond to activation of the icons on the iPad screen with absolutely no problem.  However, I often have to activate the icons for switches and for on-off and momentary accessory operation 2, 3, or more times to get the switches to throw or the accessories to turn on or off.  I know how to sync the icons with the switch or accessory status, and I do so.

Every time I activate the icons on the iPad for the switches and the accessories, the red light on the Wi-Fi module flashes, as it is supposed to, indicating that it received the communication from the iPad.  However, the red lights on the SC-2s do not always flash; of course, when they do not, no control of the switch or accessory occurs.  But, using the CAB-2, operation of switches and accessories through the SC-2s is flawless.  This suggests to me that the problem is not the ability of the SC-2s to receive communication from the Base in my set-up.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?  Could this be a compatibility issue between version 1.60 of Legacy and operation of an SC-2 through the iPad?

Cheers!
