Bachmann 03 volume CV

[russ p]

I want to reduce the volume on a Bachmann 03 with digitrains sound which I believe is the same as the factory sound 

When I've read CV63 it's 000 does this mean I can increase volume master but not reduce it

If its a Digitrains sound file its most likely on a Zimo decoder? Master volume is CV 266. The default setting is usually 65.

Russ,

 

That's not the volume CV for ZIMO decoders.

 

CV266 is for the overall volume.

 

However, with the Digitrains 03 project you will not need to change this CV if you use tthe F key 27 which will gradually reduce the volume (to OFF if you let it). So, engage F 27 wait for the volume to reach the level you prefer, then disengage F 27. The sound level will remain at this setting unless you change it. (To raise the volume, use the same approach with F key 28).

 

Best regards,

 

Paul
