I have recently purchased a Hornby 101 three car green DMU, DCC ready and fitted it with a Bachmann 3 function 8 pin decoder.
This one;-
My problem is when I drive it into a station for example, I reduce speed accordingly and then slowly come to a stand still, as you do. All is well, great slow speed, and speed reduction until milli-seconds prior to the actual stop, when suddenly it lurches or jumps forward violently a centimetre or so and then stops. The only way it will not lurch is if I drive in at an unrealistically high speed and then stop it dead.
It happens wherever I bring the DMU to a halt - signal, station or whatever, forwards or in reverse, but none of my other loco's have this frustratingly annoying habit. It seems like an unexpected power surge but I can't work out why.
Anyone any ideas as to what causes this?
My controller is a 5amp NCE Procab.
Thanks
Mike.
