Help With K-Line Pennsylvania Railroad Trainmaster TMCC/Rail Sounds

Greetings Everyone.

I could use a little help with this one.  I purchased a K-line Pennsylvania Railroad Trainmaster #8701 (Item Number K2480-8701CC).  It is as close to new as it gets.  Looks like it has never been on the track.  It is TMCC with Rail Sounds.  Everything functions as it should.  Here’s the catch.  I entered the specifics of this locomotive into my CAB-2 remote manually.  It is entered as “Diesel”, “TMCC” with “Rail Sounds”.  It starts up and idles waiting for a command from the remote as it should.  However, it will not move until it gets to the number 12 (with regard to speed) on the remote display.  It revs-up, but it will not move.  Once it hits 12 or 13 it takes off almost like a delayed reaction momentum and runs pretty fast.  I have preformed a reset and then re-entered the engine into the CAB-2 but it acts the same as it did before the reset.  Here’s the $64,000.00 question.  What am I doing wrong?  Also, once the engine takes off and I decrease the throttle, it sometimes slows down on curves (60” Radius).  I hope I have provided an adequate amount of information to correct this issue.  BTW, it’s a very nice engine and has a great horn.
