Changing speed values in a TCS T1 I have an inexpensive HO 0-6-0 switcher that I reworked to make it run better. I am now happy with the mechanical and electrical systems.It runs well. I installed a TCS T1 decoder and left all the default values at the factory setting. I would like to set the the speed setting value to a more realistic yard speed. Currently top speed is to fast especially for the my grandson. My question is this; what CV's should be changed to get a slower top speed at full throttle? Will this change adversely affect the pulling power of the loco? According to the T1 literature the dither feature can be reset a different value. Would I gain anything by setting dither to 100% or less keeping in mind that this is a yard switcher. Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated. Great forum. So much good info Joe
