Model Railroading > Notch 1 simply applies the field to the traction motors so...

Tsunami 2 1.2 and later and ESU loksound Select/4/5 have a feature that you can replicate this, ie slow movement without reving up the engine to the next notch as protypical locomotives would operate without loading enabled.
So is there any way to program other and older decoders like economi or bli to move in idle with cv settings?

The only way I figured how to use economi to replicate was manual notching.

So far I cannot figure a way how to with BLI.

thanks,

Technically Run 1 applies the field to the generator/alternator. 

It's not true of all locomotives. Some locomotives, even rebuilt older ones have a low idle feature that when placing in notch 1 does rev up to the regular idle speed.
