You *coughs* “can” restart a 185 engine on the move, you have to allow a few seconds once it starts and you hear the engine rev very slightly, at that point the train computer has acknowledged the engine is available for traction power but it won’t demand any power if the train is braking or accelerating. The trick here is to coast for a few seconds, (or better be still, be stationary) then when you throttle or brake the engine should power up normally. The fact is this isn’t done in service as Siemens and TPE don’t like the engines being started on the move. The specifics as to why I don’t know. There is a reason for it, but wether this is just a company thing or manufacturer advisory I cannot say. being a tail lamp i’m not in the habit of starting engines anyway. So,e drivers find an engine drops out just as the train is being despatched, hit the start switch and throttle up before the traction system has had chance to register the engine as running, and wonder why the left York low on power! Next time you hear a 185 engine start, listen and see if you can spot the slight rev up. I often wait until I hear this before I give 2 on buzzer if I hear an engine being started
