I also have to turn the controller to about 40 or so before the train will even start and then I only notice speed changes to about 85.  The power feed doesn't seem to be very good either.  At speeds less than 65, the train is pretty herky-jerky.  Even at 65-70, I notice the lapse of power in several locations.  I'm not new to N scale, but it has been 30 yrs and this is my first experience with EZ Tracks.  I had planned to upgrade to DCC at some point, but I'm having 2nd thoughts about the whole thing.

I had that same problem after setting it up. My son and I were running it yesterday and after about 10-15 minutes of running, the surging issue seemed to go away. I was then able to run it as low as 25 smoothly. I was going to call the company and ask but I guess it needed a little break-in. I'm going to try again today and see if the herky-jerky issue is resolved.
