Please do read these notes - this is Technical Video 2 of 3 on model railways.
When running in multiple some of the EMUs are suffering cyclical surging issues. This is covered in detail within the notes accompanying Technical video 1: • Ewhurst Green Technica... .
There is now a further update in Technical video 3 - • Ewhurst Green Technica...
Conclusion
Current thinking is the causation being differentials in motor speed. Could this be exacerbated by back emf - the 9v batter test suggests not.
The surging is not believed to be layout (track or wiring) or controller related. Having said that about controllers, surging is not apparent with the pair of refurbished DCC sound-chipped units when they are operated using a DCC controller.
The surging only occurs with some (not all) coupled units and does not occur if the units are uncoupled and run with a few inches of separation. This can be seen when the 4 BEP pulls away from the 4 CEP without surging.
The ongoing support of Mike at Model Railways Unlimited is much appreciated.
