That PRR J runs nice . If you are running it with the Legacy controller and command base, using the TMCC mode for this one gives nice performance over Cab-1 mode. I like to use a momentum setting of 5or 6 and then using the speed steps to let it accelerate and decelerate with momentum. Tis engine has a long wheelbase, likes and looks good on wide radius curves. I have a S curve that it does not like all to well so that's on the list for layout improvements. Thanks for sharing

Hi LIRR Steamer,

First, thanks for your comments. nod You are absolutely correct operating in TMCC Mode with the Legacy 990 for this engine. thumb I tried the CAB1 Mode but I didn't like the way "J" responded. The upper level loop (Track 3) has 072 curves which she likes and a small "S" curve (with slight easements) that she doesn't mind. I'm thinking about having her smoke system upgraded sometime in the future. cool I really like this locomotive as well.
