  1. OK, Its not my sound file. Having said that, to alter CV179 to give greater stopping distance lower the value. I set my default to CV179=50 Be interested in what the default is on yours? Wiggy.
  2. Chances are that its my sound file. Can you read CV106? Send me a PM. Wiggy.
  3. Thats the cab light, it is to White in my opinion. Wiggy.
  4. The top light on the long nose end is wired to AUX2 so you need a decoder that has AUX3 capability (see below). Also the top light on the short nose is wired to AUX3 BUT it only works when moving (this is not a decoder programming issue but a wiring issue as far as I can tell) and in the wrong direction so it comes on when moving in the forward with the long nose leading on the short nose end. Explain that one!!!! Also AUX1 works the cab light. Confused. Wiggy.
  5. I was going to send you a PM but either you have messages disabled or you can't receive them yet as you have only just joined. See if you can send me a PM message. Wiggy.
  6. Might be worth resetting the sound file (CV8=8 then recycle the power) but it sounds faulty to me. When you say the motor dies do you mean sound or no drive? When you turn the light off is the motor and sound OK? Neil.
  7. Did you use your controller to do the CV8=8? Did you recycle the power after you did CV8=8? Wiggy.
  8. Have you removed the capacitors normally two wired to the motor for TV interference ?
  9. I think it is possible but you would really should be talking to Bif. I think you will find that Bif's coupling incorporates a buffer clash AND a coupling sound on the one sound slot. So as the shuffle (F21) is pressed you will get the coupling sound, then when it moves you will get the buffer clash I THINK. Best speak to Bif, he does not bite, not on weekdays anyway. Wiggy.
  10. Before we go to far and change something that does not need changing we need to know what decoder make we are talking about, Zimo or ESU or other? I think some are assuming its an ESU but being S/H it could be anything. Wiggy.
  11. Over time I've repaired a few v4 fitted locos with a 100 Ohm speakers fitted with blown decoders. OK it may have not blown due to the 100 Ohm speaker but best practice is to fit the recommend speaker for that decoder. Agreed the v3.5 with a 4 Ohm speaker is asking for trouble but again I've seen that working but not for long. Wiggy.
  12. Looks like it has had a sound decoder fitted at some time as the photo does not show any decoder fitted. The switch is none factory fitted and the best way to test the speaker is with a Ohms meter as it may well be a 100 Ohm speaker that will damage any new sound decoder. Wiggy
  13. If its a select decoder it can only be re-blown with a select file from ESU. Never seen a v4 that has been totally locked only the sound file which can be over written except for a select as above and to be honest as I've never seen one totally locked I've not tried to unlock one but if it is locked I'm sure it can be unlocked with a programmer except a select sound file. Wiggy.
  14. I have done some programming with 3.5 steam files and I've had a quick look but can't see anything that will change this, but my knowledge on 3.5 is fairly limited. At the back of my mind this is a common fault with 3.5 steam but again I maybe wrong. Who's sound file is it? The only thing that springs to mind is the setting in CV2 but also strange that the rest of the chuff's are in sync. It could also be a couple of chuff's in the flow chart but either way you need a programmer to help you or consult the creator of the file. Wiggy.
