I've had my Railking PS2 Y6B on the layout for the past week or so and have been running it a bit and it has been running fine. Today I ran it and found it to run really erraticlly when blowing the whistle and/or ringing the bell. I use an MTH Z-1000 so it is putting DC offsets to the track in order to function. Positive off set for whistle, negative for bell per "normal" design. Just letting the train run on its own without whistle and/or bell results in perfect operation. No issues.
Today I noticed that often, with the bell ringing and whistle blowing, the engine may slow to the point of stopping on occasion. Not every time, just sporadically. It may also speed up substantially. This is a bit more than "normal" when running conventional, or at least I think so. Photo of the layout attached, I'm running on the outside loop (big loop). I put another PS2 steamer on the track and found it to respond somewhat similar although not as dramatic. All other loops function perfectly.
A few things:
Track is new-ish 0-27 tubular.
Two feeds per loop
MTH Z-1000 for transformer
Anyone have any suggestions as to what, if anything, may be a problem and a fix?
