Slower in DCC then in DC

[twilight]

Guys, I've been able to get into this a little further now, here is what I have been able to come up with as of tonight. I have been able to apply dcc power directly to the motor leads and I can see and feel the motor respond with more power and speed. Not as much still as in dc, but better. So, I am thinking I have some dirty contact points with where loco is picking up it's signal from the track. Obviously, I have cleaned the tender wheels and drivers, but that has not made a difference. I have a few ideas to try but I am open to suggestions.

Thanks, Mark
