CV's For Walthers DCC Locomotives.
Hello all, I recently purchased a Walthers Mainline Amtrak California with ESU Sound and DCC, and I’m new to DCC, looking to learn a bit more about CV Codes and fine tuning the locomotive; I have a Bachmann EMD SD40-2 with DCC that I successfully changed CV’s to slow the acceleration rate, which was more like a slot car than a locomotive 😃.
I have the Walthers CV codes that came with the locomotive, just looking for feedback from more experienced DCC users. Also, I have learned that CV8=8 is your friend! 😂

Nice! DCC is pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it, probably like most things, time on task helps greatly. ESU, while much more flexible than say Soundtraxx Tsunami2 (and some argue better sounding), the ESU configuration can be a bit more complex for some. Most of my locos have the Tsunami2 or Blunami from Soundtraxx but more of the manufacturers (Rapido, Scaletrains, etc… )are utilizing ESU LokSound. A lot of good videos out on Youtube for ESU Loksound overview, configuration, etc…
