Wayne2467 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi just started using RM today. Programmed in a couple of locos of which one runs a bit slower then I would like. I set the cruising speed to max but the one loco still is a bit slow. The other one is ok. Something I have missed perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, was the loco in question just as slow or faster? Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If you have programmed into RM the actual loco you have, it sets scale speeds for it consistent with the actual speed the real loco runs at. Although you should be able to change the cruising speed as you have done to make it go faster. But check CV5 which is Vhigh or Vmax. It can have a value between 0 and 255. If it has a value of 0 or 1, that indicates it isn't being used and you should be able to run at any speed you like. If it has a value above 1 and below 255, then it limits motor volts to a proportion of track volts equal to its value divided by 255, so limits the speed the loco can run at. Full instructions on reading and writing CVs are in the manual, but come back if you need more info on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne2467 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 i spotted a box marked : scale speed: unchecked it and that seem to have done the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
