[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jeffhergert [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by route_rock Flat spots happen still to this day. What sensors on new cars? is my first question. As I have never seen them. Second the one unit in reverse is an urban legend.Alarm bells would be going off if you put in a reverser and attempted to move it into a different position. [/quote] I think the sensor he is referring to is the load/empty sensor. It's been a while since i've read about them, but I think it's supposed to vary to braking force applied depending on the weight of the car (loaded or empty) to reduce wheels from sliding. As to one engine trying to go opposite from the rest, it is possible on Distributed Power to set it up incorrectily and have the remote unit(s) try to go opposite from the lead. There is a switch that is positioned "Lead or Same as Head End" for the remote engine when facing the same way as the lead (controlling) engine or "Opposite from Head End" if the remote engine is facing opposite. If this isn't placed right you could have problems or, as I've heard happened, the switch wasn't wired correctly when it was installed. Jeff [/quote] Bump test em!
