Equipment dependent so no magic answers. Start by setting everything on screen 2 to the same settings for all locos. Change one setting significantly for one loco. Note consist performance. Lather, rinse, repeat until you get a flavor for how the settings are affecting consist performance. Then dial them in.

ON28:
I'll try it, thanks! But this hews close to the adjusting of DCC CVs that RP promotes itself as an alternative to.

Alan:
There has to be some way of adjusting loco performance. No two locos perform the same or perform as desired. We're talking about China made toys here, not aerospace equipment. RP's visual interface is way more intuitive and simple to use than adjusting cryptic register settings IMHO.

Model trains. Some assembly required.

Yes to that! I reset the trio's settings to factory default, the consist ran better. The DCC guys are always most interested in the RP MU function. Come to find, many have never adjusted a CV in decades of DCC use, or just run like-running locos in consists to avoid issues.

Now, let's talk about user anxiety caused by RP production being dependent on a single individual...   

Alan:
Forget control system, my entire model railroad layout is dependent upon a single individual - me! That doesn't give me anxiety so why should a supplier? Life is too short to worry about such things.
