Thanks Chris, good to know!

It's also not quite as fast at transferring files as a HC. It takes significantly longer to upload a prime mover file to a locomotive using the CI-1. But it doesn't drain batteries like using the HC does, so it's a trade off.
--- Quote --- I have noticed some "surging" on downhill trains. The longer the train, the more apparent it becomes.

I've noticed the same on occasion, but it's intermittent. I ran a rather long train on a friend's layout with grades the other week, specifically to test this. On the first run it started to surge slightly when the locomotives reached the bottom of the hill and the entire train was pushing downhill against them. However, a second time on a longer grade had no surging. Same locomotives, same train. No DPU on this train....I wonder if that would've made a difference? A separate thread with some test results would be great.

I'll start a thread. I have at least one result to share.

I don't think that's my experience. I'm going to have to test that theory.

I have no experience with the HC2 but I thought I remember reading that the CI-1 is supposed to be quicker?
