Hello, <br />I have been in the hobby for about two years and spend alot of time with my 2 layouts (one is about 10 x 20 and the other circles around a 15x14 room twice) <br />I have a pretty steep incline that I need several engines consisted together to pull the load up the hill. I have 3 Kato's and one Athearn in this consist (only because I do not yet own 4 Kato's). My problem is that the Athearn seems to be geared much higher That the Kato's. I have tried seveal times to slow it down with my decoder (NCE D15SR) by using CV2, CV5, and CV6 but have had no luck. The engines do run together without ripping each other off the track, but since the Athearn is so much faster, it tends to spin it's wheels on the incline and sometimes around corners. Has anyone had any luck with this kind of situation? Any help would be great. <br />Thanks
