With the Soundtraxx quiet bit set you can also ¡°start¡± the loco by sending a function command. ?That won¡¯t start diesel prime movers but it will start the sounds.
You could also be prototypical, and have the brakes set up. Then set the brakes, open and close the throttle, and the brakes will prevent the loco moving while it starts. That works for diesel prime mover startup, too.
