Legacy Locos are LOCO!

I have two brand new units that will not "lashup".  The units are GP30 CGW 201 (2133770) and F7B 114B (2033268), and I'm using the CAB-1L.  These new locomotives have no means of switching Odyssey on or off.  Operating the units, uncoupled, the F7B starts earlier and at a higher rate of speed than the GP30 but the Geep requires more turns of the throttle to bring it to a stop.  Since setting "stall" is no longer an option under wonderful "Legacy", I have no means of adjustment.

Having posted the problem elsewhere, the only suggestion was ensure that the units had been reset to factory settings and that both had the same momentum setting.  That had been done but was done several more times without effect.  The only other suggestion was to write directly to Dave, which I did, but I have received no reply as of this writing.

This is my last attempt.  I have bought a dummy F7B unit and, if there is no fix, I will transfer the F7B unit shell to the dummy and have a useless powered B unit in a box that I might as well put up on eBay.  If this is the best Lionel can do, I'm done buying new units.
