[quote user="Blind Bruce"]  I do need to slow down the top speed.  [/quote]  Blindbruce a further complication might be up ahead.  Here's another thing I found to be a problem, but I found out the answer.....for my setup at least. You will see that I had started a thread just earlier because I couldn't get the top speed down on one Tsunami 0-8-0.  I know where and how to do it with the speed table and was doing everything correctly (with Decoder Pro as well) but the rewrites to the table were not "taking" on the decoder. What I found, was that programming speed tabel for the Tsunami on the power track seemed like it was being read, but it was really not overwriting the original setting or the preset Soundtraxx table I had just tried.  The loco was ticking and jerking down the track normally during the rewrite, just as if things were happening, but I could tell it was still running on the preset log table I have written previously. The only way I could get it back under control was to put the Tsunami on the programming track (which has a Soundtraxx booster) and reset to defaults and then write the speed table that I wanted.  Then the speed table worked on the main.  But this is a nuisance since to tweak it, I need to put it back on the programming track. The Tsunami's are just fussy, even on the main. I did not try setting my Zephyr to blast mode on the main however.  That might have worked too, but I had other locos out on the layout.
