How to Add Momentum to N scale BLI Paragon 3 Locos?
Posted by darrel480 on Thursday, April 15, 2021 8:17 PM

I am trying to add momentum to BLI n scale locos but it does not work.  I increased both cv 3 and 4 to 60 and 40 respectively but it has not changed how the loco starts and stops.  The engine acknowleged the change with the normal beep.  Start voltage is set at 1. I even increased both cvs to 255 but no change?  Am I missing something?  Also I thought there should be "brake sqeal" when the engine is stopping?  No brake sqeal.  Anybodyhave any hints?  I'm pulling/pushing 6 cars on zero grade.  Thanks

Darryl,

Did you verify that CVs 3 & 4 changed to any of the values you entered for them?  And did you also cycle power after you changed the CVs?
