Re: Directional Differences
I agree with Allan. Try breaking in your locomotive first, under DC if you must, will remove that as being a factor. Make sure the wheels are clean again when you get done be

Re: slow speed at grades
You mean other than doing like they do on the prototype - increase the throttle. SOME decoders have "back EMF compensation." This is also known as "speed compensation" and a few other similar sounding

Re: Directional Differences
Stephen, Capacitors will never be responsible "directional differences." So you can forget about removing them. Also, I suspect that if Rivarossi provided a plug for a decoder they didn't intend for

dcc doesn't have to be controlled by a computer. DCC does require a pwer supply that is DCC not DC.
