Okay, I did some more experimenting, and this is what I found.I ran two locomotives simultaniously, one an old lifelike DC and the other a brand new DCC engine.  The DC engine went around with no problem although all my engines run much slower on 00 DCC than they do on just regular DC (1/4 speed or so).  So, I had one engine run on 00 the other on 03.  The lifelike engine could negotiate the entire track without stopping, the proto 2000 stopped in the same spot every time.  While it was stopped (no lights, sound etc) the DC engine running on 00 would continue around without an issue.  I removed the proto 2000 and put on a brand new atlas DCC, exact same thing stops at the same spot, other engine works fine.  Then I put on a brand new DCC steam engine 2-6-0  It navigates that spot okay, but shuts down at 4 other rail joints pauses for a second and then begins running again.Any ideas?
