The starting voltage and speed curve can be adjusted for any DCC loco so you can get almost any locos to run well together if you take the time to test and adjust.<br><br>John Rhodes<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 10:52 PM, NW Modeling List <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org">nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

For what it's worth I've also noticed the new P2K GP30s run very slow. I have several and they're all significantly slower than other (Atlas, Stewart, Athearn, Kato, and even older P2K) brands. They're not bad, just a lot slower than the others (perhaps a more 'prototypical' gearing?). I'm not a DCC expert but if you use DCC, I think you can set top speed CVs to match the slower locos. At least that's how I plan to approach it whenever I finally get around to building a layout.<br>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> I
was able to run some new engines on a friend’s layout this
afternoon. For the first time I ran my new Athearn N&W SD45’s. They
ran great! I tried a new N&W P2K GP30 and the 45’s just dragged
it along. It appears to run about half speed of the Athearn's. I
didn’t have any of my older Athearn's or PPW or Atlas to compare it to.
So my question is that the P2K’s will only run with other P2K’s?</span></font></p>
