Every time I turn on the legacy system locomotives starts in reverse

Is it all engines or just 1?  If it was one, was this engine assigned in a lash up (MU) as a rear facing engine?  If so clear it from whatever lash up (MU) it was in. That should take care of it. 

Martye, 

Are all engines !!

Any of them that power on this happens.

Thanks,

That's a new one.  When the system is on, does the base to Cab lights flash on the base as if you are sending commands?

Yes the blinking base, everything works normally.

All engines start in reverse!

Does it blink even if not sending commands as if maybe a button is stuck?

Hi Leandro,

I hope all is well with you and the family. Little man must be a big guy now.

Turn everything on, press the multi-controller button down and then roll it forward. Turn everything off and then try a power on again and check if the condition is resolved.

Remove the batteries from the remote and then reinstall. Power up and check the condition.

Marty E,

Velocity wheel settings or bad?

There is no Velocity settings that starts the locomotives in reverse that I know of or have seen.  I suspect the rocker switch first. 

Thanks, I will test tonight !

Velocity Throttle Direction Control does affect direction if it's turned on. The on setting allows the direction to reverse direction. I don't know how this might affect Leandro's issue, but maybe if he is in the habit of turning the Velocity Throttle CCW before CW?

Well, he is on the bottom of the world, so things do run backwards down there.  Ask the Aussies if you don't believe me.

Well yes I get that but...who does that?  That would be a possibility but I would never imagine some one would always turn the knob backwards before running the engine.

Yes. I just wondered if it would reverse if someone did that without going forward first after addressing the engine.

Stranger thing have happened I guess.  It never hurts to throw it out and see.

Just try! How did!

Test 1:

All off I called and general energy that connects the power 180w (lionel) and base-2, this time the light of the locomotive already light in reverse, so called control (legacy) and gave the match the engine and the same remains in reverse.

Test 2:

I called the locomotive moved forward and turned off everything. To rewire the overall energy the engine is already in reverse!

I do not know what I'm doing wrong, but I agree that this is not a problem, just find it odd she always connect in reverse and it does not hurt to cricular with engines, just have to remember to change before you start.

Thanks,

I have one question that I haven't seen asked yet;

All engines power up in reverse.  Will they only operate in reverse or can you use the legacy remote to change the direction to forward?

That's not only odd Leandro, it's VERY odd.  I've never seen anything like that, and I'm at a loss as how it could happen.

My suggestion would be to either borrow a Legacy base or take yours to another location and test it.  That would narrow it down if the Legacy works elsewhere, or doesn't work.

I was thinking to do geral reset in base-2 ! What do you think?

What's a "general reset"?  I don't know of a universal reset for the Legacy, other than a power cycle.  Have you explored what the LSU can do by connecting it to a computer?

Have you been doing any wiring on the layout?  Is it possible you changed the wires from the transformer to track and they are backwards?  

Just a thought,Doug

Ahhhh, Interesting !! I will check !

Thanks !

That would not reverse the sense of control.  The most it could do is cause you to miss the Legacy signal.

Do they start normally in conventional mode?

Bruce

Do you have anything connected to the Legacy Base serial port?  If not, turn on the system, set down the remote.  Do the lights on the Legacy base behave as if the remote is sending commands.  Without much to go on, I suspect a remote issue.  Did you exercise the  Brake/Boost Rocker switch?  You could try reloading the system modules but I really suspect the remote.

Any update on this problem?

Sorry, but I had no time for testing. As soon as you post.
Thank you,

Thanks. Keep us informed. 

Hi, boys !
I found the problem it was the negative (-) that was bad connection with base
It all ready, but I will send one cab-2 for the Lionel because is display off.

Thanks for everyone's help!!
