I have had this unit for less than a year and lately it is running erratically. This just started after the layout sat dormant for 3 weeks while I was away.
All other locos are running fine. Tried a DD40AX at almost "creep" speed and it ran fine.
Symptom is that every couple of seconds it randomly stops and all I do is increase or decrease the throttle and it starts up again. It even happens with the throttle moved to get it started again. So it's not just happening at one speed setting. It doesn't happen in the same spots - just every so often. I'm wondering if anyone else had had this issue. When it runs it is a great looking & sounding loco.
Just FYI, I run Digitrax Zephyr+ and JMRI. I haven't setup the the decoder yet - still running as "03".
Again, it had been running fine!
Thx in advance.

I could create a video of the issue it that would help - BTW are videos allowed as attachments?
