Why does this old Spectrum loco run away? It's not the decoder.

<P mce_keep="true">Thanks, David. I'll bet you are right. I was so focussed on the decoder as the problem (these NCEs will run away if "stop on DC" is not written even on DCC) that I forgot to think clearly. I'll bet the motor is not isolated completely. That's what it seems like now because it must be picking up current that is bypassing the decoder. I must have pushed aside the bit of kapton tape or something when I pushed the motor back in place.</P>
