I'd appreciate any advice on the issue of an abrupt stop on a Bachmann Connie with a NCE 408 decoder. The original Bachman circuity has been retained with the decoder wired as Bachmann's diagram making allowances for the different decoder's wiring.
I've tried programming a speed curve with an almost flat lower end. That is to say speed steps one to six start at one and increase one unit at a time. I also tried setting speed step one to zero, step two with value one and so on for the next few steps. I must have done something right as the acceleration and deceleration is more gentle than before and also than when the curve is switched off with CV29 bit 4. However the loco's speed change from the lowest speed step to stop is too great.
Tweaking CVs CVs116 and 117 doesn't seem to make any difference. Neither do CVs, 23 and 24 but I don't know if these are valid for this decoder. The decoder was purchased new in November of last year so should be the latest version.
