    Hello.
    Now i m achieved sufficiently smoothing behavior of authomated trains using fully authomatic in Viessmann Commander and ABC Constant Braking Distance approach with Zimo MX620.
    There is a small clip:

    What do You think about it?
    What's Your opinion?
    ---------
    Thanks,

    Couldn't you use a solenoid with a rubber end, and have it rub the flywheel under a DCC function output? If oyu have room of course... then there's the heat issue.... but putting a stall in the tail end car seems like it would actually cause a train to pull off-rail or overturn on a curve..... I have had that happen with a tail-end car catching on a turnout, etc. and tipping all the cars between it and the loco! ugly scenario.

    Hello, EMD.
    I dont fully understood You.
    May be You mean to make soft friction brake at last car in aim to remove train oscillation (like accordione)?
    Is it right?

    R - at last car in my video means resistor wheels which proceed some current at insulated block sections for block detectors whisc is used to make automation:

    It looks like that:
