Have you still got the problem? I had the same issue. One option i believe is to turn the motor car around in the consist or turn both light decoders in the driving cars 180 degrees but the motor car method should work

Hi. To me it looks like the CV settings. I believe that this set has 3 decoders, one for the motor and others in the driving cars. Personally I would be inclined to reset the decoders to see if this solves it. If not then the CV for the motor decoder could have the direction changed. This is straightforward using decoder pro and you can also tweak the settings for the lights at the same time by putting the whole set on the programming track. Hope this helps. Regards

I've checked & and double-checked the cv settings, and it doesn't make any difference. I use decoder pro for this. Unless there is a cv I'm not familiar with?

Hi Derek. I'm using 5.1.12 Pro version of iTrain. I took some time to get to grips with it, but with lots of help from the help forum they sorted out my problems. Once it works like this it's a pleasure just to sit back and watch. I still run it manually sometimes but that is a lot more stressful. 😮😅

I'm assuming this train only have one motor car? Are the wheels and track free of grease and dirt? What do you estimate the gradient percentage to be?
@mikebiggs6632
@mikebiggs6632 6 ай бұрын
One motor car, track spotless and the gradient is just under 2%. Extensive testing has proved that adding weight makes a huge difference. Surprisingly, the loco is only marginally lighter than other models that can negotiate this gradient with ease. The problem is where to fit that extra weight? In the meantime, I have reduced the train to a four coach rig.

I have a new XC version which was perfect from the box. But in the past I have found the dummy car to have incorrectly fitted axles and bogies which does add significant drag. Make sure that all axles are spinning freely, coaches to. Also check that the base plate is fitted to the body correctly because this can rub on the wheels

If you haven't already try removing the front bogie and checking that the chassis doesn't buldge downward. This is a common problem with these models and it drastically increases the resistance. If you have ran the model a fair bit you may also see scratches on the chassis where the wheels have been rubbing against it. If you find this to be the case, I know how to fix it.

So, it's not too bad. I upgraded to iTrain last year (2022) and finally had it all working this summer.
