@PRR1950 posted:I don't mean to be critical, but your last video seems to show an unusually fast start for the engine under RailPro. I guess I expected a crawling start (like an engine under load) with a gradual increase to speed. Is this the best start RailPro can do, or is this just a function of the RailPro / Weaver drive system combination? Or, were you just in a hurry to get the train running to keep video length down?

Hi Chuck,
I believe I had several factors at play, mostly being my inexperience with the throttle.
1. I was at the beginning of an incline.
2. I had setting at 65% load. So as I rotate the dial nothing moves until I reach 18%. The engine revs but does not move.
3. As I reach 18% and continue going up the loaded throttle starts to ramp up and catch up to my percentage.
4. So with my inexperience, holding a cell phone in one hand and trying to manipulate the throttle and hold the controller with the other hand and then me being impatient and not taking into account the grade, it did start off a little fast.
My other video above at the 1:08 mark has a better start. It's probably something I just need to work on getting the "feel". The speed steps are adjustable too. I imagine I could mess with those as well.
Thanks for asking and watching.
Ron
