<p>Thank you to all who have commented and listening to me.</p><p>Randy I just reset as you suggested by setting CV8 to 8.</p><p>I ran the engine again at the factory default value and notice that the engine runs smoothly in the forward direction, but is somewhat jerky in the reverse operation.</p><p>I then changed the CV2 value and the CV6 value, to dial in a starting speed that is a close but not yet perfect match to the Atlas Silver engine (this engine runs incredibly smooth at both slow and fast speeds, in both forward and reverse). In the forward direction the engines seem to work out in a double header configuration, but in reverse they don't mix at all, because of the jerky motion of the Tower 55.</p><p>I intend on contacting the hobby shop that I purchased the engine from and asking them for some help. Perhaps there is a problem with this engine.</p><p>As for the photo of the horn, I will try to post when, when I get a free minute (that is the least of my troubles right now!)</p>
