I posted a message for the train people lastnight about how my J3a had slowed in
the corners so badly while running with the DCC.  So far the one reply was in
concerns of my gray wheel sets on the rear of the engine.  I had heard that
these gray sets had some problems and seeing how these were purchased on
Bricklink, I have no idea of what set they came out of.  I was told that the
problems usually start after extended running...the engine had not had problems
in the past running on my small oval that only had four traights and it easily
pulled the five cars I had, so I am not sure if this was the problem or not.
Anyway, someone might want to try switching the wheels with some black ones,
then testing it out to see if that helped.

Yet another reply to the problem was that it is very likely to have been over
heating!  The problem I guess is likely to occure when running the heavier
engines and cars with DCC.  I am sure my gray wheel sets may have added to this
problem.  SO...are we going to run into this problem with all of our larger
engines?
