NMRA CV 156 - Dual Prime Mover Delay

Some locomotives such as E-Units had two prime movers in one locomotive. Most times when the engineer would change notches there was a delay between the one prime mover changing notches and the second one following suit, this CV can simulate that. This feature can also be used for consisting. If the lead locomotive has a sound decoder but the unit behind it doesn't enable Dual Prime Movers so that the sound equipped unit plays sounds for both of the engines.
The higher the CV value the greater the delay time will be.
