Slow speed N scale switching

Mon, 2013-09-09 12:45 — Tore Hjellset

I've just started my new layout project; the Alexander Railroad in N-scale. The first N-scale locomotive I've bought for this layout is a Bachmann Spectrum GE 44-tonner. Sadly the performance of the loco was well under my expectations. At slow "cruising speeds" the speed of the loco varies a lot even though I don't touch the throttle.

I've tried the loco both on DCC and DC with the same result. Does anyone have any idea what causes this or have any similar experiences with this model?

Ontario South Central Railway

Sat, 2013-09-07 07:28 — OSCR

Hello, my name is Brad Ketchen. I am a musician, music engineer, sound editor and composer living in the Greater Toronto area. I say the GTA as my Girlfriend and I are moving to a condo in Toronto. This creates a dilemma, as I figure out the future of my railroad, Ontario South Central Railway and accomodating it in our new living space. Luckily, my girlfriend understands the need for a room to relocate the OSCR as well as my current location of the railroad on the adjacent wall to my recording work station.

On schedule and as promised to myself, the Greater Nickel Plate rode the High Iron today. Not a production video but thanks to my wife, Peggy, and her patience with me the railroad lives! Now to fine tune the track, cars and engines so that everything runs smoothly.
