Trailing Unit not stopping

(1/4) > >>

MRL Trains:
Ran into a problem while consisting.  Happened multiple times.     One loco on the head end and one as a pusher on the rear of a 23 car train. When I stop the consist and change direction,  rear loco will take off until the slack runs out.  This with throttle and speed both at zero.  Change direction again and it goes back the other way until they're all bunched against the lead loco. It seems the rear loco is not fully stopping even at zero speed. 

Lead   LM-3S    2.03
Trail    LM-3      2.03
CI-1 for control.  (I don't current have an HC) 

I'm guessing it may be a radio issue.  I have a CI-1 on a 15ft extension and keep it close to the train. Still happens.   Could it be the distance between the locos (23 covered hoppers)?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Chris,

You may need to run the updates again. It sounds like something may not have been applied properly during the update.

Question: If you are only using 1 loco, do you have any issues?
What about if you have the locos adjacent to each other instead of one at the rear?

I'll test first,  then update.  Maybe even take a video.

MRL Trains:
They do run fine individually and in a DCC consist.   Only have the problem in RailPro consist run with CI-1.

KPack:
Let's see a video.  Something sounds odd with this situation.  How long are you waiting before switching direction? It almost sounds like the rear loco is running down the rest of its momentum.  Usually the following locos will short their settings to run well with the leader.  I'd be interested to see if the behavior is same if you switch which loco is the leader.

DPU works very well on Railpro, I run DPUs all the time.  Let's see if we can figure out what the issue is.
