Dunmar Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi, Over the last view weeks I have been tinkering with CV's to the point where I have just about got my loco's doing exactly what I want them to do! The control I can achieve is truly amazing! I have just got one more stage to complete and that is the 'braking sound' just as the loco stops. If you don't drop to ' 0 ' quick enough you will not get the brake squeal. The manual states that you need to alter CV's 64 and 65 accordingly. I have tried altering them but am a bit confused as to what is meant to and is happening. I want the break squeal to come in slightly earlier ( without the use of F7 ) and get it to operate automactically as the loco starts to slow down. What do I need to do? Bill.

legomanbiffo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Although you can set CV64 & 65 to any value from 0 to 192, if you set them to anything more than about 20 the brakes will squeal for far too long. I find that the following values make the braking sound do what I want; Set CV64 somewhere between 10 and 20 Set CV65 to around half of the CV64, ie somewhere between 5 and 10 If you like the squeal to last a bit longer, increase the values proportionately Hope this helps, Bif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting as I have a few locos where the brake squeal continues after the loco has stopped. Can this be cured and with what CV please? Exactly what parramaters do 64 & 65 change please? I have altered CVs 3, 4, 5, & 6 to get the control I like. Can this effect the period of squeal? Cheers Dave Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say increase the value to make the squeal last longer - do you increase both CV's accordingly ? Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomanbiffo Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's been a while since I played with them. You can't do any harm so just experiment with different combinations of value and see what happens. Then come back here and tell everyone what you found :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunmar Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks again 'Bif' ! Have set CV64 = 15 and CV65 = 5 and got the effect I want. Have been ' tinkering ' with CV's over the last few weeks and I will now give them a rest and concentrate on ' driving ' loco's before my layout's next outing! Cheers, Bill.
