legacy engine stops

I had a problem like this except my Legacy engine stopped every 4ft or so and then stared moving after stopping.I reset it to factory settings and problem stopped no problem since then.

this is a follow up of my problem where my  legacy engine stops and   the headlight blinks at certain places in the track; It is certainly a signal problem. when I put my hand over the engine the engine starts up again.  Now this is a relatively new problem; as my engine ran well before on the same track.

So I began to think of what I did in my train room that was different since the problem began;and I came up with it. ....I STARTED RUNNING MY DEHUMIDIFIER IN THE ROOM. When I unplugged the dehumidifier, everything worked well.

My vl Hudson was acting cranky like this. It would even uncouple it's train at the most inappropriate times.

Once I cleaned the track AND the loco wheels it started to run as it should.

You may want to try this before you put a. Earth ground in.

You may have a noise EMI issue that is effecting the GS2 engine. This engine is sensitive to conducted/radiated noise on the track that your Dehumidifier may be generating through the AC lines and/or through the air...Just a guess

I have the same engine, same problem when it goes into an Atlas O Double Track bridge on the other side of my layout. i will check for the ground and the earth ground as one other engine acts the same way...I will try the re boot.
