Hi there z-scale/AZL folks.

I recently received 3 AZL SD40-2 locos and they are GORGEOUS.
I am using Marklin rails and power feeder which make the trains run but only on one speed - on or off. Not DCC.
No throttle, just one speed. Is this a limitation of using the Marklin feeder or am I doing something wrong?
Any other suggestions to use as power feeder?

Thanks!

Whice power are you using? Märklin You mention märklin rails (track) an feeder, that makes no difference.

Or do you mean that you really can only turn the track on or off and locos either go 0 speed or full speed? -Eino
