Picky...picky... I fixed it. 
I like to press set, turn the throttle until the engine just starts to move and press set again. Now I have done away with about 6-7 speed steps and the engine starts to move on the first speed step. I do this on all ac motored tmcc engines. That way they all will start together when MU'ed and pull in unasion. This can be done with dc motors also.

Bill, I've found that sometimes the engine won't quite stop if I do it that way, which is why I reverse that and throttle down until it just stops and then press SET.
If I have a DC motor, it has cruise installed, no stall setting needed. 
I had Frank Timko install a DC Can and traction tires on this engine. I then installed EOB/RS.
Before it ran too fast and couldn't climb any grades. Now it is a superb runner.
I recommend you get a DC can motor and traction tires installed.

I don't think I ever encountered that problem. I still have a few diesels that use a DCDR that I have not added cruise, so I set the stall on these.
