<p>[quote user="Nevin"]</p> <p>I've put these into a couple of my steam locomotives and over all I am really happy with them. The Keep-alive feature is truely a game changer. However, as cool as the braking feature is for a mainline freight, it is kind of a problem for switching in tight situations (F7 is a 20% brake application for each time you push it, F6 releases the brakes). I went though the documentation last night, but I could not find a simple way to disable it. I'd like to toggle it off sometimes. Any suggestions before I call TCS? Thank - Nevin </p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><a href="http://www.tcsdcc.com/Customer_Content/Literature/Decoders/WOWSound/WOW101-Steam%20Manual.pdf">http://www.tcsdcc.com/Customer_Content/Literature/Decoders/WOWSound/WOW101-Steam%20Manual.pdf</a></p> <p>Page 15</p> <p>There is no toggle from what this says (I thought there used to be).</p> <p>It is possible to switch with prototype throttle, just takes some getting used to (and you have to pay attention).</p> <p>Page 16 also tells you how to adjust the brake rate.</p>
