I would ask bachman to come up with a better way for power pick up for your new version of the 0-4-2 t on 30 porter.
My locomotive hesitates/stops/jerks/ when moving so I have had to eliminate the pick ups on the locomotive and make a power pick-up car for better electric continuity. ethier that that I am happy with your products.

DITTO I'M ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS,ESPECIALLY ON TURN OUTS,I HAVE REWORKED THE PICK UP SYSTEM TO SOMETHING THAT WORKS
What did you change to get it to work? Mine (a 0-4-0) either works or it just continuously resets the decoder. I can run it for hours on test rollers without a hesitation, but on real track, it just starts & stops...not even an eighth of a turn of the wheels. When I'm lucky, it will run for a bit, then get to where it just keeps resetting.

That tells me you have dirty track. Do a cleaning, not looks clean but you actually did something.
I have run a DCC loco on rollers and it just kept running with no stopping.
