What makes you think that electrocouplers latch at low voltage and burn up? LC+ when running here at lower voltages just won't properly fire the electrocouplers, and smoke is anemic.
As far as the sacrifices of using lower power, you can have your cake, but you can't eat it too.
So the whole idea of throttling down to control top speed for my grandsons was a huge bust. We have to pull the power back so far (30%) that often times the switches will not function -- really not a good thing for the anti-derail function to not work when the boys are operating.
With a Legacy engine, can you set a maximum speed that "sticks?" Or LC 2.0?
It's odd, but we can set the maximum speed for the Polar Express Berkshire with the LionChief app and that maximum speed setting is "remembered" by the locomotive. Not the case with the NW2 switcher that is LC+.
With the new power supply, if it gets turned up all the way, really above 75%, the locomotives will fly. All the way to the tile floor if you don't have your catcher's mitt ready.
