HO / 0-6-0T locomotive performance
March 31, 2011, 12:53:33 PM
I have just joined your forum, it looks very good.
I have a question or two regarding the new Spectrum 0-6-0 saddletank tank loco I just received.
It is Item 81811, a nice little unit.
The instructions advise that it can be run on DCC or DC.
I run only conventional DC.
It runs quite smoothly in 'reverse' [ cab ahead], but very jerkily in forward [boiler ahead].
Is this probably a case where a lengthy break-in period is needed, or could it have to do with the DCC possibly interfering with the DC ? If I need to get in and disconnect the DCC, I'd appreciate some instructions for this.
Thanks and best regards.
