Gentlemen <br /> <br />You can all have a beer on me, i have fixed the problem! Hooray. <br /> <br />I set both the tender and the Stainz to the factory settings ie <br /> <br />CV 2 speed to 0 <br />CV 3 accel to 3 <br />CV 4 brake to 3 <br /> <br />I then reset the Stainz speed to 1 and it didn't do anything much. <br /> <br />reset Stainz to 50 and it ran away from the tender <br /> <br />reset Stainz to 10 and it was still a bit fast <br /> <br />reset Stainz to 5 and it was just right, ran around the track for several circuits and the distance between the two remained constant at speed 8. <br /> <br />I then connected the coupling up and ran them in a clockwise direction which where all the trouble was. Ran very well the draw bar was straight just about all the time in and out of tension and comression all the time and it swung briefly to one side then the other as it went around corners, exactly right. <br /> <br />I have now run them for several hours in a clockwise direction and not even the hint of a derailment! <br /> <br />I also ran them all over my entire layout and as far as I am concerned its fixed <br /> <br /> <br /> The only explanation I can offer is that as the tender is much newer than the Stainz it had run itself in and therefore exprienced a small increase in spedd enopugh to do the damage! <br />Rgds Ian
