Digitrax Zephyr Stopping Problem

<p>Sorry, don't have an answer for the OP but I'd like to ask in this thread:</p><p>Has anyone had a runaway problem with NCE and the Zephyr? I had one isolated runaway prob. aftern an install. Didn't know how to correct it, but managed by blind tinkering with the Zephyr controls.</p><p>However, I later cleaned the wheels on half a dozen locos with the spinning wheels on the cloth over the track method. Every one of the 6 locos ran away after that as soon as touched a powered rail with the throttle set to zero! Then at a higher throttle setting they reacted to the throttle, but back down at zero, they ran away. Seems obvious they were getting two signals.</p><p>I cured them again with tinkering with entering the address and setting and resetting the control to forward and reverse over and over. Must be a better way.</p><p>I did notice I had a faster cure by stopping the loco and reentering its address more than once (it was hard to tell what exactly was happening) I think only my NCE D13SRs do this.</p><p>But I think there was that ghost address throttle setting problem mentioned above. I just learned about cleaning out all addresses and I think that might effect a cure faster in the future. BTW whoever mentioned resetting the Zephyr, is that what you meant.....setting switch 36 to c\ ?</p>
