I'm perplexed and have explored all angles and I can't figure it out. My locos have no zip. They run slow.

I have a Lenz LZV100 DCC system on a 7x11 point to point. I have no more than 30' of track. I bought a mulitmeter, and if I'm using it right, I get the same voltage across the layout (about 20). I even took the shell off a loco and measured the same voltage at the pick up wires. So, I'm satisfied my track is getting enough power. Track is clean, wheels are clean. This problem exists with all my motive power regardless of make, model or decoder.

 I just saw the new Dual Frog Juicer on FastTracks website.  I'm still not a DCC expert, but I need an autoreverser soon and this fills the bill at the same price as the AR1.  However, the bonus with the Dual Frog Juicer is you could also use it to power one of the following: 1. two frogs, 2. crossover, 3, wye, or 4. turntable or it can be used as a circuit breaker in a power district, though that's not all that important to me.  It can't do it all at the same time, but the flexibility is certainly something that is appealing at the same price point as the AR1.

Well, it's been a long time since I posted on my layout's progress... or lack of progress, whatever the case may be. I am hoping that posting my progress on my installation of the detection portion of my staging yard will keep me more motivated and hopefully I will complete this sooner than later.
