So I have a couple DCC Soundvalue locomotives and frankly, they're awesome. The only problem is that when I startup my DCC system, they both make the idling noises while my other DCC locomotives do not. Is there some way I can adjust the CVs so that they're silent upon DCC startup like my other locomotives?

So my Berkshire's chuff rate (CV116) is set at default 92, and it's resulting in 6 chuffs per revolution on each speed step instead of the regular 4. What is the proper way or formula to set each speed steep to 4 chuffsper revolution instead of 6?

My little Mogul is DCC ready and I want to make it DCC equipped with sound.

What will I need to make that happen besides a dual mode decoder (DC/DCC)?

I've recently decided to upgrade all of my locomotive's (DCC RMready) from DC to DCC. However, I am at a block; is the Overland considered considered a Northern or Niagara? Is the factory installed board able to support sounds or will I need to buy a new board for a speaker?

This is personally not easy because my friends use BLI and Kato so they have no idea either.
