SOUNDDOG DIESEL TRAN SOUNDS HOW TO

However you should be able to find out how to do it from your operator’s manual it’s normally under the decoder programming section. I won’t be able to give you instructions on how to change the CVs on your particular DCC controller as there are so many different makes and models, and they’re all a bit different. The majority of DCC controllers or command stations have the ability to read and changes these CVs. CVs are the electronic switches within the DCC decoder which control all the options such as the locomotive’s address, light functions, maximum speed and sounds. This is done by altering the value of a certain Configuration Variable or CV. The first and simplest method is to switch between the diesel and steam sounds and, for many, this is sufficient. And there is a slightly more complex method which allows you to totally change the sounds, which then enables you to use them for other countries too. There’s a simple way to change the generic sounds and adjust the volumes. These are also for US outline locomotives so they may not be ideal if you model trains from other countries, but as a generic they’re not too bad. In this post I’ll show you how this can be changed.Īs standard, Digitrax sound decoders come with pre-installed sounds, normally for generic diesel and steam locomotives. At the end of the post I mentioned that when the locomotive was put on the track and powered up, diesel sounds played instead of steam. In October last year I showed you how I fitted a Digitrax DCC sound decoder and speaker into the tender of an N scale steam locomotive, you can read the post here.
