Has anyone had problems other then me with Legacy engines uncoupling from each other when programmed for MU setup?
I find the coupler open on the lead engine.
At first I thought it was fluke but now its happening frequently and I'm beginning to think its a Legacy issue. Is there a known fix?

One of my Lionel SD-70s had a very weak coupler that kept uncoupling. I ended up replacing it and it works great now. Maybe your problem is more mechanical like mine instead of electronic.
work the coupler by hand a few tings like this.
open with remote, push hard (but not hard enough to break it) closed.
do this a few times and see what happens.
the coupler may not be seating closed all the way.
The Legacy already incorporates the old standby electrical fix of putting a capacitor across it, so I suspect this is mechanical. Some dry lubricant is the first thing I usually try, and if it's still troublesome, I tend to replace them.
