Fields are 1) Heat while standing 2) Minimum heat while driving and 3) Maximum heat while driving. I know I'll need to tweek them some, but was hoping for a good starting point. Thank!

With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397.

I didn't play with them yet. V3 and earlier also have a smoke generator setting and if the generator is a "good smoker" you can reduce the output power to get longer lasting smoke. But with track voltage varying between 18 and 23 volts and big variation in smoke generators, there won't be a single "perfect" setting for all. I'd set "1)" as low as possible (just enough to get visible smoke within 5 through 10 seconds) and then set "2" and "3" to higher values to get a notable difference while driving. I think I have a Brawa loco without smoke generator, but with V4 decoder. I can read out their settings (but I don't know if they cared to fiddle with that). Are there other brands with ESU V4 decoders in steam locos?
