I would call it 95% + reliable, but it does vary a bit.  I have my subway, which is approximately 16 feet end to end.  I start the train within about an inch of the bumper and after running for 20-30 minutes or so (among my longest runs) it ends up within an inch or so of the same bumper.

I have 2 current PCC trolleys and 1 prior.  They all run a total length of about 7 feet (2 stops at ends and 2 in the middle) Two of them were about the same as the subway.  The most recent one I got from MTH auction #5 is slightly further off than the others, but still manageable.

That sounds very promising! I'm excited to get both a pcc and Mets subway train at some point. I currently have a z1000 controller and a dcs explorer. My understanding is the explorer can't take advantage of the transit announcements and stops. I plan to get the new wtiu when it's released this year.

Can you confirm if I can program the stops with a z1000 controller?
