I noticed the three new engines needed several hours of run time for break in. At first the operation in the first four speed steps was irregular/inconsistent. They now run much better at the lowest speed steps.

Yes. I noticed a definite break in period, too. In my case about 2 hours. I am enjoying mine as you are yours. Because many hobbyists are/will be running these new Legacy Pacifics on a Gilbert-themed layout with Gilbert/K-Line tubular track and turnouts, I thought it useful to post some observations from that operational standpoint.
