My loco will arrive, while Im on vacation. I dont want to wait for the user paprework. What aspects of sound can be controlled in DC?
All sound functions are preset when using DC. You have control of the sounds only when using DCC.
That will be unfortunate, if I cant turn off the sound. Hmmm
Why would you buy a sound-equipped loco and then turn off the sound?
Because I run them in multiple places, some in the kitchen and near the tv? And because sound gets old? Why would you wonder why people want to do normal things :)
Function 8 mutes the sound. Any DCC controller with at least 8 buttons will do the trick. An EZ-Command can be purchased at train shows and flea markets used for under $50 and it will suffice for toggling the sound when needed.
