I've got a Life-Like Proto-N SW8 switcher, and I was wondering what could be done to improve the slow-speed performace of this locomotive. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanking you,

Could you describe the mechanism and electrical pickup methods? The only familiarity I have with N gauge mechanisms is with the
1970s Bachmann HO GP30. :)Does it have a flat-side motor, fixed worms, swiveling trucks, and wipers on metal wheels, or what?

A DCC decoder with back EMF control such as offered by Lenz will help. I have done this to my SW8. The Life Like Decoders are very small and can be placed in the cab.
Best,

Hi There I also have the Life Like SW8 N scale switcher, havent realy needed to do anything to improve it, the slow running performance is first class, if you have a problem with yours I hope you can sort it out.
