I have used the Power Cab and it is a good system. I have on;ly used the HO Spectrum locos with onboard sound and Soundtraxx that I put in. Never Sound Value. The issue was never a bother for me.
Below is a link to the CV list for Sound Value if you do not have it. I have seen the question and answer here before but do not remember the solution.


The thing is I want them silent by default when i give my layout power instead of having to manually go in amd silence each locomotive every time i want to run a session

Check the CV list. It is right in the DCC page in the Bachmann site. What DCC system do you use?

General Discussion / Silent DCC Startup
May 31, 2020, 02:52:39 PM
So I have a couple DCC Soundvalue locomotives and frankly, they're awesome. The only problem is that when I startup my DCC system, they both make the idling noises while my other DCC locomotives do not. Is there some way I can adjust the CVs so that they're silent upon DCC startup like my other locomotives?

HO / DCC SOUNDTRAXX SOUNDVALUE FOR BERKSHIRE
May 21, 2020, 04:30:18 PM
So my Berkshire's chuff rate (CV116) is set at default 92, and it's resulting in 6 chuffs per revolution on each speed step instead of the regular 4. What is the proper way or formula to set each speed steep to 4 chuffsper revolution instead of 6?

HO / Re: Installing DCC and sound into Alco 2-6-0

I currently have a DC layout, so I wont be able to use the soundtraxx decoders until I buy a DCC system. Is there any other decoder company that has sounds and can work dual mode straight from the factory?

HO / Installing DCC and sound into Alco 2-6-0

My little Mogul is DCC ready and I want to make it DCC equipped with sound.

What will I need to make that happen besides a dual mode decoder (DC/DCC)?

I've recently decided to upgrade all of my locomotive's (DCC RMready) from DC to DCC. However, I am at a block; is the Overland considered considered a Northern or Niagara? Is the factory installed board able to support sounds or will I need to buy a new board for a speaker?

This is personally not easy because my friends use BLI and Kato so they have no idea either.
