    Is there a way to disable dyn brake for speed control?
    Trying to find a work around for humping, i can do it manual but it sure would be nice

    Its grabbing the dyn way to quick and starting a domino effect.

    Tried hump control adjusting

    tried multiple setups/consist

    tried using power from the trailers manually but it throws it off too far

    -\0.0/- ideas?

    Ok, so I've misread your post. You are trying to use the speed control.

    I don't think there is any speed control in any train that doesn't use the dynamic brake. You can try cutting out the generator field (not sure if that is recommended in real life) but no speed control will ever use the service brakes. Only the dynamic brakes.

    Interestingly, the class 66 has a slow speed switch, but because it has no dynamic brake, it doesn't work when going downhill...

    the Way it is its unusable for anything other than 0 grade and above 5mph

    I think you are out of luck, I'm afraid. In order to maintain the set speed on a downhill gradient, the train will only use its dynamic brakes.
