Sorry, don't have an answer for the OP but I'd like to ask in this thread:Has anyone had a runaway problem with NCE and the Zephyr?  I had one isolated runaway prob. aftern an install.  Didn't know how to correct it, but managed by blind tinkering with the Zephyr controls.However, I later cleaned the wheels on half a dozen locos with the spinning wheels on the cloth over the track method.  Every one of the 6 locos ran away after that as soon as touched a powered rail with the throttle set to zero!  Then at a higher throttle setting they reacted to the throttle, but back down at zero, they ran away.  Seems obvious they were getting two signals.I cured them again with tinkering with entering the address and setting and resetting the control to forward and reverse over and over.  Must be a better way.I did notice I had a faster cure by stopping the loco and reentering its address more than once (it was hard to tell what exactly was happening) I think only my NCE D13SRs do this.But I think there was that ghost address throttle setting problem mentioned above.  I just learned about cleaning out all addresses and I think that might effect a cure faster in the future.  BTW whoever mentioned resetting the Zephyr, is that what you meant.....setting switch 36 to c\ ?
