I have several TMCC engines that have a slow top speed running under R100 mode in the Legacy controller.  When running the engine, I switch to CAB1 mode, speed up the engine, and then switch back to R100, it restores the full range of speed control.  But if I change direction or lose power due to a derailment, it is back to the restricted speed.  I have tried resetting any speed limit that might have been set, but it does not resolve this.  I like the R100 mode because it displays the icons and is supposed to give finer speed control.

The problematic engines are:
K-Line K3680-9628CC PRR Scale Mikado
K-line K3380-1361CC PRR Scale K4 1361
Lionel 6-18952 ATSF Alco PA-1
Weaver G1715LP Milwaukee Little Joe

Any ideas, or explanations?

Yep. I have a K line K4 with cruise control that did the same thing. Had the same issues. I had to run it in TMCC and also play with the beginning and top end voltage and it still never did run right.

To this day I believe it was the boards ... 1 month later, it had a great smoke out while just sitting on the track, now it has zero speed steps.

I would seriously think about upgrading them with new ERR boards.
