Basic CV settings for more realistic acceleration/de-acceleration.
The information below are just changes l have made that seem to work. ( using NCE PowerCab )
I cannot say if they will work for you on every locomotive. Do not change anything if you are unsure (in particular CV29).
Note: CV's 2, 5 & 6 work together.
CV 1 = DCC address
CV 2 = Start voltage, low number for slow running (e.g. 1 = slowest)
CV 3 = Acceleration, the higher the number, the slower the acceleration (experiment, start at 30 for diesels and 60 for steam)
CV 4 = Deceleration, the higher the number, the long it takes to stop
CV 5 = Top voltage / maximum speed ( 1 to 255 )
CV 6 = Mid voltage / mid speed, Set to half the value of CV 5
CV 8 = Decoder reset ( 8 is the most common but check with your decoder information before using )
CV29= To reverse your train. Some systems will have the option FWD/REV others are numeric ( if value even + 1, if value odd -1 )
IMPORTANT = Do Not meddle with CV29 if you are unsure. Consult your decoder instructions and system manual.
