I have a 44 tonner i just installed DCC in. while it was never quiet ( and i haven't used it or most of my other trains in a while because of the switch to DCC) it seems much louder than before. I know i was servicing a bunch of my locomotives, and the 44 tonner did have big glob of lubricant from the factory jammed in there (literally), and i cleaned it out. Its still loud.
Whats more though, is that it doesn't creep like i'd like it to. at speed step 1 its still moving kinda fast.
What can i do to improove performance?
