I've got a question for you. When you test MTH engines, do you test them in conventional or Command? Thanks

Sorry, missed this...
I only have postwar Lionel and a conventional (ZW-R) transformer. I modulate throttle to get max pull reading. This generally occurs with moderate wheel spin - either too little or too much and pulling force drops. I can't easily measure scale MPH but my hunch is peak occurs at 30-50.
