Hi Pete

Sorry for the confusion, the decoder was a V4 L (not XL), and for what ever reason, it didn't like the BEMF on either of the Pittman motors. My weapon of choice is the Select L, for various reasons. Bryan at SBS4DCC.com swapped the V4 L for a Select L and the Select only causes marginal moaning from the motor. Easily masked by the sounds from the decoder - as was the Atlas' moaning (with a Select L).

The L series was developed by ESU during 2014 specifically for O scale, but given that there are so many Atlas and Pittman motors out there, its performance in the motor area is a bit below par. Not to worry, I think that it will be acceptable.

I'm weathering it at the moment and then I'm off to an NMRA meeting (barbecue lunch). I'd like to make a movie of it tonight if the paint is dry.

Cheers
