I got the Bachmann Digital Commander starter set with the FT-A and GP40 Sante Fe engines. I had speed conrol for mabey the first minute with each engine and now I got almost nothing. Forward and reverse work. I can turn the lights on and off but starting --- poor, poor, poor. Stoping --- that is not happening. I need to kill power with the red stop button. There is no fine tuning. There is mabey some throttle response but it is on its own time scale. Both engines work when the track is switched back to DC and my DC engine works, though slightly slower and on a slight delay, when run on the DCC. I tried disconnecting the capacitors in the FT-A but even then the issues persist. So what is going on? What options do I have to fix these issues? Thanks,Ed
