Once wheelslip enters the picture, all speed control bets are off! I have noticed my Lionel Legacy PRR T1 Duplex will sometimes lose traction on the truck with the speed sensor, then it just sits and spins. The other truck doesn't get any power as the spinning wheels indicate to the speed control circuitry that I'm going the commanded direction. That can happen on any dual-motored locomotive, only one is speed controlled, the other motor just receives the same voltage in parallel.
