on lenz dcc if i were to put it on speed 1 would the train crawl along ???

[marcuskerr1972]

If you modify the starting voltage then the motor will commence to move

However, I have not made these changes yet so I need to start off with a speed setting of typically between 5 and 10 before the motor begins to move

@marcuskerr1972 ok cool that will be the same with me but even at say speed number 6 a loco would crawl along and not zoom off as i am lookig to buy a lenz setup but want to be able to have locos crawl and so on is it basicly like any dcc setup that once the loco starts to move the more yoyu increase it the faster it will go obv

[marcuskerr1972]

Yes, a motor will move very slowly

For the purposes of these videos a higher speed setting is used, otherwise the videos would be much longer

I will therefore upload another video showing slow speed control

@marcuskerr1972 ahh thank you mate nice one i see aswell you can increase the speed 1 by one i am looking forwad to getting my lenz set up the set 100 i already have the tra150 to power it :) is the system easy to use

[marcuskerr1972]

Yes, the speed can be increased in steps of 1 or 8

The system is easy enough to use, although it can take some time to get used to all the options
