NMRA CV 126 - Braking Deceleration Rate (Single-Stage)

Braking deceleration is the rate at which the decoder will slow the locomotive to a complete stop. Once the Brake Button has been applied, the locomotive will slow down according to the deceleration rate programmed in this CV. The base Deceleration Value (CV 4), and Consist Deceleration (CV 24) will not effect the actual deceleration and only the braking deceleration will be considered.

Like standard momentum, the values range from 0 which will be a nearly instantaneous stop to 255 which will cause the locomotive to very gradually decelerate to a complete stop.

NOTE: Only non-sound decoders from TCS only use this CV for the single-stage (On/Off) braking system. WOWSound decoders offer a Train Brake system with up to 5 separate configurable braking rates of which this CV is not one of them.
