Modifying Automatic Sound Effects
Sound control CVs additionally allow you to modify automatic sound effects, such as the coach
door slams that occur after the conductor’s “all aboard!” announcement, the release rate of the
poppet valve, the clickety-clack rate, and the various Fireman Ed tasks that occur when the
locomotive is stopped.
Adjust the Coach Door Count
Enter a value from 0 to 15 into CV 195 (Coach
Door Count) to adjust the random number of coach
door slams that occur with the all aboard/coach
doors function. Turn on the all aboard/coach doors
function while the locomotive is stopped to activate
the conductor’s “all aboard!” announcement,
followed by the random number of coach doors
slams determined by the value of CV 195.
Adjust the Poppet Valve Release Rate
Enter a value from 1 to 255 into CV 200 (Poppet
Valve Release Rate) to adjust the frequency of
each “pop!” of the poppet valve from the fastest
rate to the slowest rate. The poppet valve releases
more frequently in humid environments and less
frequently in arid environments. CV 200 is set to a
value of 25 by default.

5 = 5 door slams (default)
↓
15 = 15 door slams
CV 200: Poppet Valve Release Rate
0 = Disabled
1 = Fastest release rate
↓
255 = Slowest Release Rate
