Hi folks In a effort to get a troublesome Bachmann / lok sound 5 37 from stuttering I enabled the complex Speed curve now I find that the decoder won't reset and switch it off I used the 2mm society cv 29 Calculator. Any suggestions would be most welcome Steve

Hi guys Thanks for your time I have run the locomotive on dc and it runs Just fine no stuttering at all my other dc c locomotive also run just Fine too I will try I try and reprogram some cv's from the esu decoder tips and Tricks paper work I have found on the net Steve

Hi many thanks for replying unfortunately I don't have a tester I tried it again and it judder a few inches I then looked at the cv's and found Most were populated with zero's so I'm thinking the decoder has failed. Steve

H folks I have a Bachmann 37 with a Esau lok sound v5 which running degraded to stuttering I cleaned the track and wheels to no avail so I tried the auto tune the loco for a a few inches and stopped I tried again and got nothing loco is now dead I so I took the decoder out and placed the blank and ran it under dc and all was well so not quite sure what to do now. I use a Gauge Master Prodigy Express. any help would be appreciated. Steve

Hi folks. Both locomotives have Esu lok sound 5 with a Gauge Master Prodigy Express. I have 2 class 37 the first one stuttered at speed steps 1-3 this was cured by doing the motor control Setting cv54=0 My second 37 also stutters at speed sets 1-3 I have the set the cv54 =0 setting but it made it worse. The second 37 cv's I changed after reading ESU tips and tricks Cv52=127 Cv53=160 Cv54=127 Cv55=127 Now it goes like a bat out of hell. Thanks for any advice. Steve.

Ha ok I will look at those thanks again. Cheers, Steve.
