I tried this and in a flash my Loksound locomotive runs 100% better. Thanks for posting this.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Fantastic! Thank-you...

These decoders just keep getting better!!!! I love ESU!!!!

[@jono4700]

I just tried this on an Atlas model with an ESU decoder…beautiful. This works so great, the engine crawls at speed step 1. Thanks for posting this.

[@GP9railfan]

This works great! I did this to all my Loksound locomotives. The difference is amazing!

Hi Guys Im a U.K.ho American model railroader & use NCE Pro cab, Ive just fitted a NWSL Stanton spud type motor in my Brass M190 S.F, & Im having trouble getting my ESU Sound decoder to run properly. Ive had no other problems with my other loco ESU installations. My M190 first was very slow to start & stop so I put the correct cvs in then it went fast & jerkey no control at all. so after seeing this you tube info I tried cv 54 the bell sounded after a fast start like you said & its still uncontrolable. Ive tried lots of other cv & still havent got it working.. I changed the sound decoder for nonsound & it works fine I also went back to DC & it runs superb. but I want to use my ESU DECODER which are the best.... Ive got them in all my other locos sorry this is so long but Im now desperate for some info

I got 2 of the HO sw1200 "s with ESU LOL SOUND from Rapido everything worked like you said ,but made my engines run worse, any ideas what's wrong with that , I did everything like you said , is it because of maybe because of the motor being from Rapido

[@brianwebster4858]

Will this work on a esu Lokpilot decoder

[@wilhelmhuber3270]

Question, how to use this function while using the cab on the LokSound firmware? The F1 just turns lights on and off. Do you have to put this on a program track with your DCC system, in my case CVP? This doesn't seem make sense. Thanks for any help. Cheers,

[@user-lw9fl1lo8w]

So to be clear, after writing "0" to CV54 using program on the main (NCE throttle/cab), do we exit the program mode then press F1? Didn't work for me! Can this process by used on any brand decoder or just ESUs?

[@Longshadowsmodeltrees]

Dose CV54 work with any decoder, or just that one?

[@KingTrump2024]

It's and ESU plug, so obviously its just their decoder. Most do have Back EMF, but I think this is the only one with an auto adjust feature.
