CV settings S4 & RS-3 engines

[DAVE2744]

I thought owners of these engines might find my settings for CV's  interesting to try. S4 CVs:

       Alco S4                                                                  Alco  RS-3
CV    New set                                                        CV     New set
   3        150                                                             3         125
   4          70                                                             4          50
   5        100     <---light weight branch line work--->      5           20

The RS-3 CV5 setting might be a little too low, but I'm still experimenting.   Just be sure to keep
record of each change you make.  Have fun,    Dave

If you like learning something new, read - Adjust the Forward and Reverse Trim in the user's guide and look up the CVs in the technical reference.

Set CV 5 and CV 6 to zero and experiment with
CV 66 Forward Trim
CV 95 Reverse Trim
Notice there are Related CVs:  CV 25 and CV 29

I noticed your reference to forward & reverse trim Hunt.  I briefly passed over it in the manual, figured it was too soon in my learning curve to try.  What type of response will I be looking for in the locos?  Do I leave my other settings alone when adjusting these trims?  Thanks, Dave

You will encounter programming anomalies using a SoundTraxx decoder made for Bachmann with the Digitrax DCS51. Make good use of Digitrax online Tech Support Depot.

Answers found in the documentation.
Hint :
Notice - CV5 and CV 6 are not supported in any SoundTraxx Tsunami decoder.
            CV 66 and CV 95 are used instead of CV 5 and CV 6.

After you move up your DCC learning curve --
Set CV 5 and CV 6 to zero and experiment with
CV 66 Forward Trim
CV 95 Reverse Trim

Are you saying cv 25 and 29 are indexing cv's like qsi decoders?
