Bob,
I seem to remember a friend of mine coming over and accessing a function of DCS which allowed the engine to bridge over these momentary interruptions, and he upgrading all of my engines at that time, and have interruption free operations for many years. Now that I have wiped out all added functions with the factory resets, I have no idea what was done to address this. I have called MTH tech support and they know of nothing like this kind of capability.
The reason that has no idea what was done, is that whatever you think was done via engine settings simply isn't possible. There are no DCS "functions" that can mitigate this kind of behavior. It's a matter of the engine losing continuity with either the center or outside rails, or both.
The only things that can make any kind of a difference in this regard are:
- Make sure that each PS2 engine's battery is full charged to keep the PS2 board hot during momentary power dropouts. This lets the engine's natural momentum keep it going over a dead spot.
- Go faster over bad spots to get past them quicker.
- Clean wheels, rails and pickup rollers.
- Look for and eliminate dead rails.
- Swap single pickup rollers for dual pickup rollers wherever possible.
- Add pickup rollers to tenders that lack them.
I suspect that your issue is electrical in nature and has nothing to do with DCS.
