Hi,
I've got a Lenz Silver fitted into a Hornby 121, and it ran fine on DCC. I've had it running at 1/3 speed on DC loop for about 2 hours to run it in as the loop was running DC at the time.
It was fine to start, but now the loco will not go straight to full power on DC? It starts off slowly and builds up to max speed over three loops of the track. It didn't do that before! I did leave the loco for that two hours, and when I got back it had stopped. It needed more power to run again (slowly). When the decoder is removed, the loco is fast and totally normal.
When I fitted the decoder I fitted the Hornby heat shrink to the Lenz, but now read it should not have any??
Have I buggered my lenz decoder?
It still works on DCC, but some how it does not seem as smooth, seems just a touch jerky when underway??
Thanks
Rob.
