speed control and item#44910

[steven]

Good day, how do you get the engine to go faster, it will not go any faster. It is at very slow speed. The other question is can you hook up 2 44910 together, and should you? can you also hook up lights to the power unit and how many mA are there at what volts. I need 12 volt out put for lights. thank you for your time P.S. I LOVE YOUR ITEMS!!!!! I am a disabled Vet and am doing a train layout for therapy, I only use your items. You have the best on the market. I want to thank you guys for what you do for people, that is sell a good item that is outstanding! Steven from Kentucky

You cannot connect two DCC boosters together to make the train run faster.

How does the train run with just the E-Z Command with no booster?  It should run the same speed.  If you are not using the E-Z Command with your booster, what DCC system are you using?

My experience is with the Bachmann American Freedom Train. The loco came with DCC on-board.  It ran VERY poorly out of the box on my DC railroad. The headlight was blinking on and off and the engine ran slowly and jerky.  Finally, someone at Bachmann advised me to remove the decoder and replace it with the dummy plug (this may require a magnifying glass).  The engine has run perfectly ever since.  Be sure to place the dummy plug in the correct slots.
