Dapol 122 Running Issues

Hi got another Dapol 122 today.

 

Fitted it with a imperium 21 pin decoder. 

 

Out of the box it was very stop start, lights flickering all over the place. After a bit of running in a clean of the tracks its better on plain track but on double slips and some points its stall. When it stalls you can still hear the motor as if its trying to go.

 

Track is spotless and all my other locos run without issue including a couple of 08s at a crawling speed.

 

Ive tried turning off back emf on the decoder and its slightly better but still far from perfect. Now casting my mind back I had a Dapol 22 which also did the same thing with an imperium. 

 

I don't think its the decoder as ive had it in a Bachmann 20 and it was fine in that.

 

So anyone else had similar issues? Could I have a duff loco? Is it worth returning for exchange?
