I have two Forneys and both run too fast on DCC speed setting one.Have tried changing the CVS ,but am unable to slow it down.Does any one else have this problem and is there a fix? I am trying to make it run slow on low settings...........Peter
Are these sound on board or DCC only?
I have both here, the non sound one was a little hard to control at low speeds despite trying various CV changes, so i removed the bachmann Decooder and fitted a LENZ silver decoder, which brought a dramtic change in performance it crawls imperceptably at speed setting 1
The sound one also crawls at setting 1 after I set CV3 ( acceleration) to 20 and CV4 (deceleration) to 10.
thank you Steve for your reply,I tried these settings a while ago and again today,the same result,on setting 1 it moves along slowly but not a crawl.Both Forneys are fitted with sound.Peter
Hi Peter
I will just go and try the sound one here and see if i can come to any firther conclusions
Steve
Just done a quick test on the shed layout, the outdoor temp is currently 4.0C not that the temp has any affect on the running!
I set the loco moving at speed step 1, then counted thhe number of driving wheel revolutions, in 1 minute which was 17, during that time the loco travelled approx 1 metre ( 40"), the decoder setting are start voltage 1 acceleration 20 deceleration 10, apart from changing the rate of the Bell ringing and selecting one of the alternate whistle sounds all other settings are as factory set.
Just a couple of thoughts do you have any other bachmann 0n30 locos ie not Forneys? andd if so can you get thhese to run slowly?
Also what DCC eqipment are you using, ? I am using a Gaugemaster Prodigy2 ( MRC)
Hi Steve,I'm using Ullenbrock dcc and I do have other bachmann locos,some will crawl and some don't.I will try the percentage scale on the dcc to see if it makes a difference,but not today,the weather forecast is for 106 deg...Peter.
Its no wonder, Eng have lost 3 test matches, they just ain't used to the HEAT!
Yeah,,,,get it right, we have the bigger trains ,faster Forneys and the better teams ... ;D ;D ;D
