    Hello Douglas
    It is more than 10 days since you have posted your question and no budy has aswered to it.Where on the layout dose it occur? On a turnout? on a straight track?
    I have the same problems on my N sacle layout which I’ve converted to run DC and DCC locos by switching between them. It seems that the experts are not willing to reveal secrets and you can’t read about the problems in any book.It seems that we are the only one with the problems but maybe we can help each other to solve the problems

    I am having the same problem with Athearn SD70ace’s, with sound. They just act up anywhere on the layout. I have clean track and wheels. I am using Digitrax. It is hard to MU 2 of these together. Any answers?
