Aristocraft 5450 Power Supply w/5401 Throttle question

I just tried out a spare Aristocraft 5401 throttle that I picked up at a train show. ($5) It seems to work ok with our 5450 Power Supply but I noticed a bit of "momentum" when the throttle was moved to zero. Wondering if this is a symptom of something starting to fail in the throttle?

No, I believe that is built in. Aristo quickly learned what stress instantaneous starts and stops did to gearboxes when they made their "shuttle" controller.

I just read the manual, "automatic electronic momentum control".... email me if you want the manual
