Does anyone know of a way to raise the frame on the On30 Shay to solve this problem?

Mr. Bachmann,

I have installed 2 Loksound 3.5 decoders in 2 different 0n30 Rail trucks. Both installations exhibit the same problem. When starting, there is a slight pause, then the truck jumps ahead then resumes normal speed. When stopping, the truck slows to a stop, then jumps ahead.

When I move either decoder to the On30 Gas-Mechanical, everything works correctly.

I suspected that the problem with the rail trucks (both) might be capacitors or RF chokes on the PCB board (per the note included with the rail trucks) , but according to Bachmann tech support they no longer include capacitors and chokes on the boards. I could not locate any obvious components on the board, but did note a label for L1 and L2.

I question this answer, and wonder if this problem could be raised within Bachmann?

Thanks.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that there was a re-release of this with an improved power unit. Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks
