One of the two locos (both LokSound micros) I have set up on the ProtpThrottle always starts up with the brake set. I can't release it with the PT. I suspect this is a Digitrax issue but I don't know how to fix it. I can use my DT402 and release the brake and run the loco. I shut down the loco with ALL the functions OFF.

I Know the function 8 key turns sound on or off, but is there a way to just change (lower) the volume of the sound for a Bachman GP7 using NCE power cab? I do not have the paperwork that came with the loco?  any assist is appreciated.  I am still looking on line but thought Id tap into some knowledge here. 

Here a short clip of my paper mill layout, it’s a 10ft x 8ft U shaped switching layout. 

The paper mill comprises of three tracks and two turnouts, which the branch comprises of three track, two on the branch itself and one that leads to the paper mill. There is also a tiny MOW siding which normally houses the railroad’s crane.

I’ve cherry picked ideas for Dunn Papers at Port Huron, MI and International Papers in Biglerville, PA allowing me to have a number of different that’s of cargo arrive and depart from the mill
