Hi Gary....What DCC system are you using..?? Something similar happens to me (Digitrax Zephyr). After an operating session I'll shut down. Next time I turn things back on a couple of the locos used previously will crawl on their own, even if their assigned throttles are at zero, or even turned off. The fix (sometimes) is to re-select the loco on an active throttle and start it up a bit. Then stop it and "dispatch" the loco address from the system. If this doesn't work, I'll shut the whole system down, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again.....
A couple of weeks back I got a "short" error shortly after turning on the system, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Turned out a loco had crawled its way to a turnout that was set against it.....
