Reply to "Help with new Lionel SW7"

@MikeH did you know that when a loco is designated a "switcher" under the Legacy system, the speed steps are halved.  I guess the idea is to give an operator more "resolution" for slow-speed switching.

In real life, an SW- switcher could only go about 45 mph.  And I bet many spent their entire careers running slower than that, unless they were dead in tow as part of a road freight, on the way to the repair shop, etc.  How big is your layout?  If you really don't like your Legacy version, there are plenty of other, faster-running switcher models out there.
