Beattie Well Tank / Bachmann (Soundtraxx) Decoder

I've just received my Dapol/Kernow Beattie Well Tank and a Bachmann (actually made by Soundtraxx) 6 pin decoder which fits it (just).

I am wondering if anyone else has used this combination and has tweaked the standard CV settings. I am 90% happy with mine but there is a very slight amount of stuttering at slow speeds which I feel it may be possible to improve. I don't want to waste a lot of time experimenting if someone has already found the answer.

Any recommendations gratefully received (except any suggestion that I buy a more expensive decoder.)

Regards to all.

Try faffing with the motor control parameters (K, I, etc) which are towards the top of the CV number range (I don't have a set of instructions immediately to hand). Those control how the back EMF senses the motor rotation.
