Just installed Legacy V 1.3 after running TMCC since it came out. I have tried two new Legacy engines. One diesel and one steam. I have loaded the modules etc and All the Legacy Icons come up etc. Train brake is off and the engines are set on high momentum. They seem to behave correctly except that they frequently won't start to move again after stopping. Whistle, horn, rpm, and engine sounds seem to work. It can happen at several random locations on the layout after stopping. Sometime by changing directions and back again they will start. Sometimes shutting off track power and putting it on again will cause them to move. My old TMCC engines work fine. Am I missing something? Any help will be appreciated. Thank You

I had the same issue before. I found that I cleaned the track and added a few more power drops in those locations seemed to fix it.
Won't hurt to try. I'll scrub and if that doesn't work I'll start adding strategic drops if there seems to be a pattern in an area.
Using high momentum settings can introduce quite a delay into response from the engine. Have you tried using a lower setting, such as medium?
Medium 7 works real good for me

I have had the same thing happen, and its only Lionel Legacy engines, and only a select few, so go figure.
I find trying to change directions, using the brake gets them to move. if that doesn't work restarting the power does.
