QUOTE (5696Arethusa @ 25 Sep 2007, 21:53) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I was running one of my A1s this afternoon and as I'm still on DC I'm able to control the power reaching the loco and slip the wheels when starting a heavy train. This got me thinking, with all the things you program DCC to do I've never seen or heard of this being done on DCC, is it possible? If so can you program the sound to match, there's nothing that says steam quite as much as the battle between touque and friction when touque gets the upper hand.
You could try setting CV3 (acceleration) to a custom speed curve if the decoder you are using supports it.
