I have the custom run UP AA set from Mr Muffins. Set 2033710. I am using a Cab2 and a ZW-L. The same issue occurs if I use a PH180. The set will have to go back to Lionel, but I will describe the problem in case it is an issue with more than just my sample.
The problem is if the throttle speed is reduced too quickly by having a momentum setting less than 6 on the Cab2 or if using the L setting in the Lionchief app, the trailing A unit slows down more quickly than the lead A. If the two units are connected they fight one another until the pair comes to a stop. If they are separated, the lead A pulls away from the trailing unit until both stop.
At momentum setting 6 and above (or the M or H setting on the app), both units slow exactly the same. However, at momentum setting 6, if after the throttle is suddenly reduced another engine is selected on the remote while the AA units are slowing, the trailing A will again slow at a quicker rate.
I will run them for a while at momentum 6 or higher (and not address another engine if they are slowing down) to make sure I don’t discover other problems before returning them to Lionel.
