RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2011 Good afternoon. Is there a way of shutting off sound on a DCC diesel as all I think I can do at the mo is Function 1: Start up/shut down? The reason I ask is that when one of my loco's/units disappears into the kick back sidings/fiddle yard I'd like it's engine sound to shut up but not shut down and so that just before it reappears I can turn on the sound again. Thanks, Phil @ 36E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2011 Press F1 when it is moving to turn it off, pressing it a second time*, when moving, turns it on but without the startup/shutdown bits. We do that all the time on Widnes *And the loco can stop in the middle of these presses ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkie Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have a few zimo sound chips, and their is a function you can set that makes the sound fade out which is great for this kinda thing. try the link below if it helps...

Nigelcliffe Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 There is a Mute function on LokSound 3.5 chips which can be enabled with CV changes to any Function key. Or use the on/off key whilst moving as suggested. Zimo as reported via a fade. Not sure what LokSound v4 would offer, but its probably quite clever !

Guest Natalie Graham Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is there a way of shutting off sound on a DCC diesel as all I think I can do at the mo is Function 1: Start up/shut down? Use half of each option to get a 'shut up' setting? Sorry. I think my coat is the one in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted August 6, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks all. Fancy not knowing you can shut up things whilst they are moving DOH!!!!! (Will it work on SWMBO?) Phil @ 36E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridwatcher Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Most US outline chips have a mute function on F8. Very useful as the start up and ###### down procedure can be a very long and drawn out affair. I agree with Widnes lads, what we normally do on UK outline layouts is get the loco running on fiddle yard (sound off) and then hit F1 avoiding all the start up etc. Full starts are limited to locos sitting on shed and turned off.
