You must understand that there is a certain point on your analog throttle that must always be maintained to keep that DCC engine alive.Somewhere above that point to a certain point on the throttle dial the engine will leave neutral and move forward or reverse.The track, wheels must be clean and the good feeders in for it all to work reliably.If DCC was really bad, I would not have spent the last 5 year's worth of hobby spending on it.Consider a entry level DCC system to keep better control of your engines. The price of a good one equals that switcher you are trying to run.Once you get a DCC system controlling that switcher, you are going to be blown away by the slow speed shunting you can do.Because I myself know that I am no good with the analog throttles, I set all of my DCC engines NOT to accept old style analog power.
