I have converted one of my DC steam locos to Digitrax DCC with sound. On this loco, in particular, The chuff and stuff starts before the loco starts to move, which is about 10 on the controller. It will sit there chuffing away at a good clip without any movement unless I shut it down or wind on the speed knob. I know there is no cam synchro with this setup but it just seems strange that the two functions are completely separate. I have read the Digitrax documents and can't figure it out. It wouldn't be so obvious if the loco started moving with less voltage and I have had no luck affecting that through programming. Any ideas?
Oh, another thought is that I have been unhappy with the puny sound from the Digitrax compared to my BLI loco with Paragon 3. But it just dawned on me that the Digitrax sound would be fine and proportionate with N scale but it is wimpy for HO, even with upgrading to a sugar cube speaker.
