    I have acquired an Atlas Master Alco RS3 with Loksound decoder. Andersley western runs long hood forward and this one runs short hood forward. Anyone know which CV needs changing to reverse the direction?

    That should be CV29, you would want to change the normal direction of travel.

    Thanks. Have done it on other non sound decoders, but could not remember the CV, or if it is the same for any make of decoder. Will try it tomorrow.

    Changed CV29 and now the loco goes the 'proper' direction ;)

    Now need to know which CV to change to reduce the sound volume. It is a bit too loud for continued use!

    Downloaded the Loksound manual. Changed the required CV63 from default 180 to 90. Sounds about right now. ☺
