Bachmann 2-8-0 w/ factory tsunami - CV help
Posted by sparkyjay31 on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 4:41 PM
Guys. This is my first attempt at programming CV's. So please be gentle with your grading. I read the Users Guide that came with the engine. But what I've done is lost the brake squeal. Below you'll find a list of the CV's and the values that I have plugged in. Again, I really have a slightly dangerous idea of what I'm doing... CV3 = 20, CV4 = 20, CV15 = 1, CV16 = 1, CV25 = 3, CV 114 = 5, CV115 = 1, CV129 = 200, CV130 = 150, CV131 = 100, CV132 = 100, CV133 = 100, CV135 = 150, CV193 = 10, CV194 = 15, CV195 = 5, CV196 = 5, and CV198 = 200. I do not run consists, so I did not program anything for those CV's or any others. Everything else is as it left the factory. What have I done?

CV 139 is Brake Squeal  Volume - you can set it from 0 (none) to 255 (ear spilting).
