Test ran my first locomotive - kind of a bummer.

It has been my experience that the loco will speed up when it has a decoder in it. The locos without decoders are not only noisy but slow. And, as I am sure someone will mention (true or not), running a DC loco on DCC has the added advantage of possibly ruining the loco. <br /> <br />I say, put a decoder in it, reset the decoder CV8=8 and then try your speed tests again. <br /> <br />Cheers
