    Hi folks,
    I just stopped and force quit my first try of a service on LRS with the 103. I'm doing something fundamentaly wrong I guess ...

    When I reach my desired speed and move the wheel back to 0 I'm now unable to apply again and roll for kilometers ... then, suddenly, the power is applied again. It happened four times now so I'm sure I'm missing something basic here.

    Desperate fiddling around with the main circuit breaker and the trafo-button doesn't help solve the problem ;-)

    Any advice for me?

    What I noticed is that loosening the brakes and turning them off shortly does help with that- maybe worth a try?

    I did a second try and the issue didn't occur once...will play more and observe if and under what circumstances this might happen again

    Just a follow up: It happened again and this time I kept cool and remembered what you just said. And indeed, the loco-brake was only 97% released. I noticed that my RaildDriver does some kind of "Ghost input" from time to time so this might be ne cause for such mystery.

    Anyway, moving the brake to 100%, wait a couple of seconds and successfully apply power again did it
