I keep my dcs engines in a yard. The tracks in the yard are individually turned off and on with toggles.
A normal operation session is like this. First Power up TIU with aux power. Then Power up main line tracks with TIU channels. Then Go to yard and turn on yard track toggle.
It seems like every time I do this the DCS engine starts in neutral, sounds and lights on.
I can then choose startup on the remote to get to normal DCS operations.
If I check signal strength on the yard track I get 10.
Why is it that the engines start in neutral instead of off? I am pretty sure that engines starting on the main line start normally.
