Matching Units Speed
Posted by dominic c on Friday, August 9, 2013 2:01 PM

Hi Everyone

I hope your all enjoying your summer!

I picked up an Athearn Genesis F7A&B units. Both powered with DCC Tsunami.  I'm trying to match their speed so they can run together well.  I placed them about a foot apart from each other. For their deceleration, It's perfect. I was able to set CV4 accordingly.

For acceleration, they START perfectly in sync. As I run them though, the B unit eventually closes the gap and links up to the A. Now mind you it takes about 12 to 15 ft for the B to catch the A.(This also depends on increasing the speed) So it's a gradual overtaking. I know CV 2 & 3 deal with acceleration? But again they do match up well as they accelerate. I think I have to match their speed. This is were I need the help

Thanks 

Joe C
