I have a slightly different issue. In my rebuild from running 37 engines simultaneously, I am having only 1 train per loop for my grandsons to run the trains. My bottom layer is a storage facility for the 2nd level to run. The bottom is powered by 1 TIU channel, and consists of two yard Ross 4 ways, and outside O72 loop and an inside 054 loop with the Ross double track X over. The space is 16 by 7 with a 6 by 7 L. I have the following engines on the track: MTH - GS4, NYC Dreyfus, SNFC Orient Express, Reading T1, GN S2, PRR GG1 Newhaven F7 (dual A units separate engines and ids) and PRR 0-6-0: Kline converted to Proto2 - B&O Lt Pacific, NYC J, Reading F7: and Lionel converted to Proto 3 - 4 Truck Shay, WM 3 Truck Shay, Plus Legacy - Big Boy, GN GP9 and the Cass Hessler. As you can see, 12 MTH engines and three Legacy engines. None of the Proto 2/3 engines come up in conventional mode and all are silent. Two would come up while the GG1 boards were frying and before it died. When I pulled the GG1, they all came up properly. The GG1 now has its new boards and the behavior of all the engines is normal. The issue now is that when adding a new engine, I have to use a programming track because I can not add one with all 15 engines on the track. That issue started when I added the 9th MTH engine. Grade going to the 10 " 2nd level is almost done and more platforms will be added to the 2nd level as well as more storage for my remaining engines.
