Customizing Other Sound Effects
CV 117 (Rolling Stock Type Select) allows you to enable the following
rolling stock sound effects: flat spot, generator, coupler, airhorn and bell,
clickety‑clack, flange squeal, wheel noise, and brake sounds. Customizing
CV 117 requires setting its individual bit variables, as addressed in the “Bits
and Bytes” section of this manual.
The CV default is 254 (only the flat spot sound effect is disabled). The sounds
provided by CV 117 can be specifically configured to simulate different types
of cars. See Table I for the value to turn on individual sound effects. We have
also included examples listing the appropriate sounds and corresponding CV
values for simulating cab cars, passenger cars, freight cars, refrigerator cars,
and cabooses.

Example 1: Cab Car
Cab cars serve as a control car on push‑pull trains, which run in “reverse”
along commuter lines rather than switching the locomotive. Since they serve
as the “cab” of the train, these cars are equipped with headlights, airhorns,
and bells. The sounds commonly emitted from a cab car include the coupler,
airhorn and bell, clickety‑clack, flange squeal, wheel noise, and brake
