What are good decoders for the Acela?  Not the new HHP-8, but the Acela Express? I'm trying to also find a decoder that supports Back-EMF.

I'm using the Bachmann 4 function atm I'm not too pleased with the low speed performance so I'm going to try a Lenz 4 function with back emf.

Hey Frank, Here's an update for you. I purchased the Lenz LE1025-MP BACK EMF decoders for my Acela HP and Streamliner. I'm very impressed with the performance both low and high speed. They run extremely smooth and quiet at all speed settings vs the poor performance using the Bachmann 4 fucntion decoder. So i guess the bottom line is you get what you pay for even though the Lenz weren't very much more than the Bachmann in price $23 vs $21 the performance difference is huge.

Have Fun
