HI again,

I recently aquired a new Piko 52723 VT 98 Railbus c/w Loksound V4 M4 decoder, according to the literature.
The brake sound remains on after the loco comes to a stop. Stays on for about 2-3 secs.
I looked up the CV tables on the ESU website for this decoder, and it appears CV 64 and 65 are the ones responsible for adjusting the start and stop points for the brake sound.
I have made numerous adjustments to both, and no effect on the timing of the brake sound.
This is a small isssue, the loco is really a nice model and I am otherwise very impressed with this Piko model. If this can't be corrected I'll simply turn off the brake sound.
But perhaps I am missing something with the adjustment?

Best Regards,
Don

The CVs used may change according to the sound project installed. Do you know the sound project number that Piko use?

Hi,

I looked at the documentation with the loco, no Piko sound project number there or on their website for this loco.
I guess I'll contact Piko about this,

thanks

Don

PIKO uses a custom sound project for their locos. That is one of their sales arguments: Great sounds that you cannot just get from elsewhere.
