Diesel Version 5:Train Brake
The WOWSound Diesel sound decoder uses a slightly different type of “Brake” than the TCS Standard decoders.WOWSound uses a separate “Brake” button (default is Button 7) and a separate “Brake Release” (default is Button 6). Every time you press the “Brake” button there is a 20% brake application as well as a random brake squeal sound.
If you continue to press the “Brake” button several more times there is an additional 20% brake application each time you press the button. With 5 presses of the “Brake” button you are in emergency and the loco stops very quickly.
Anytime that you press the “Brake Release” button you will hear the air release from the brakes while the brakes release and you can continue. Increasing the throttle setting will also release the brakes.
Pressing the “Brake Button” will apply the brake regardless of the throttle setting. So you can simulate “Power Braking” with passenger trains to keep the train stretched etc.
The “Brake” and “Brake Release” buttons can be re-mapped to any other buttons desired. See "Re-Map Sounds to Function Buttons". While the default values for the Braking rates work very well for most people; they are adjustable using CV’s. See CV's below.
