I just loaded the new chain file and, unfortunately, it made no difference at all.
I've E-mailed this to MTH.
Darn. Thanks Barry for the update.
Any new news Barry?
When I have something, I'll post it.
FWIW, The Imperial Railking 0-8-0 has the same exact issue, or at least the version I have does. (30-1610-1).
Hoping MTH has a fix for the Mikado - appears this is becoming common. Not good. I'll hold off purchasing any more MTH steam engines until this is fixed in future products.
Sorry to revive an old post but just noticed something very interesting on a couple of PS3 diesels. These are all new production - delivered within the past 9 months.
The engines are the PS3 Railking Imperial Evolution Hybrid
Scale F3 A unit (RTR Catalog)
With the smoke ON they will respond EXACTLY like the steam engine in the video in my original post. Very abrupt, rough.
Turn the smoke OFF (I don't use diesel smoke) and they are glass smooth. Slow, gentle stops.
Anyone with recent PS3 steam and a conventional operation able to test to see if the smoke being on/off changes the conventional coasting behavior?
Thanks.

Did you get a chance to look into my question from way back when?

Admittedly I don't remember. I sold the steam engine not long after I bought it. While it was a nice engine and ran well, I was so turned off by the deceleration in conventional issue (and MTH's response to the issue) that I couldn't live with it.
