Is this normal for dcc?? Have you noticed this??

Hi all. I model in ho. Just haveing switched to dcc i have a bachman spectrum 2-8-0 & an IHC 2-6–0 that i have installed decoders. When i ran these engines on dc down grade they did not seem to pick up much speed without changing the speed, now on dcc down the same grade without changing speed they seem to pick up more speed almost like coasting. The IHC i can notice more of a slow down at slow speed going from straight into an 18in radius corner. Is this type of thing normal. Are am i imagening this? Thanks

The changes in speed are the result of the decoder you have used, which evidentally doesn’t have back EMF. What brand of decoders and DCC system are you using?
