I have a Light Mountain that operated just fine from when new in Feb 2020 until Dec 2022. It sat on my layout while I was out of town for the holidays. When I returned (02/06/23) and tried to run the loco, it would only move forward a variable distance, then stop cold, then start again. This behavior repeated no matter how the throttle was set, and the starts/stops occurred if the loco was moving forward or reverse. (The track was clean and other locos ran without this problem.) Now, I discovered that the start/stop behavior disappeared if I muted the Sound. Any ideas why letting a loco sit unused would cause this problem to occur?
