Hey Guys,
I have noticed recently that my Lionel Legacy SD40-2 has stated to act up... it doesn't start moving until the 14th or 15th speed step. I know its not a control-type issue, as it is on the Legacy Control setting. Its not a power problem, as my AC6000 starts moving with a 15 car heavy train at the 2nd or 3rd speed step on the same location of track. It is also not a gear or axle being dry problem, both are lubed.
What might be causing this? Any ideas before I contact Lionel about it?

Try doing a factory reset. I had to do that on a few engines that have sat unrun for a while.
Check that you haven't accidently moved the "train break" on your CAB-2.
Make sure you are not out of range of the antenea. Hope this helps?
