  Re: DCC slowing?
 
Thanks for the reply, Mark. (...) Both motors had Digitrax DN121 decoders (...) I don't think the DN121 has this. (...) Both had the factory default speed tables. We ran both motors without loads (okay, 1 had a bumper on it) around the loop, and the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: DCC slowing?
 
Perhaps the speed of the two motors was mismatched for one reason or another. This would cause the two motors to generate more heat (because they're pushing or pulling against one another) and lead to a possible overheating situation. I've read (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: BrickFest 2003 impressions and comments
 
(...) Yes thank you for pulling off another wonderful weekend. (...) So am I, however I think I am driving so I can bring more stuff! (...) YES what a novel idea. This was a big issue. Not even my short boxcar and engine could make it around the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: DCC slowing?
 
(...) I say it's the overheating. When rtlToronto did NMRA a few weeks back, there were a few engines running for most of the weekend. I got stupid and put 8-10 cars behind one of my locos and, after about an hour, it started slowing down and then (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New German Diesel Locomotive
 
(...) Never mind the GP-38's, James, I just saw the reference picture you worked from, it has your Santa Fe diesel v5 locomotive up front, just re-color your ready model and use that with this UP car and a few more ones in between the loc(s) and (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Union Pacific Executive Car
 
Neat car. That technic piece is perfect for capturing the look of the rear-lights. The SNOT windows are nice. They make the car look longer. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: DCC slowing?
 
Were you running any cars with gray wheelsets behind your locomotive? The gray wheelsets have a few known problems, and can make a train come to a halt after a few runs around a track. It normally takes a few hours, but the heavier the cars, the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New German Diesel Locomotive
 
(...) Jeroen is right, James, that UP car is awesome too and most definetely needs other cars AND a locomotive! A bunch of GP-38's...? :-) Greetz, Anton (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New German Diesel Locomotive
 
(...) This is indeed a great train, both the real thing and James' model are very impressive. Instead of half tracks I would love Lego to make 3 axle motors (again), doesn't have to be a driven axle althrough that would help the traction for some (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New try at German Double Decker Commuter Train
 
(...) Well done James, extremely well done! Next I see you doing an 111-electric locomotive in white/orange livery... ;-) Greetz, Anton (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
