(I apologize if this has been covered before.)
After reading my thread regarding the testing I did on the ZW-L and Z4000 with an oscilloscope, one of my friends from this forum emailed me to find out if I had experienced the perplexing handle unmanned motion. He does not yet have a ZW-L, so he was curious about this phenomenon, which he had seen in the Lionel video on the ZW-L:

In the video, at 6:06, the presenter (Mike Reagan?) releases the inside throttle, and at 6:08 the A-Handle, which he had set at the 13V mark, starts to move by itself. It continues to move until it reaches the 16V mark at 6:11, at which point Mike stops the handle and returns it to the 0V mark.
I have to admit, I missed it the first time I watched the video, but then he told me exactly where it happened, and lo and behold, there it was – Handle A moved by itself!
Any comments or explanations?
Thx!
