Scaletrains ES44 not starting motion until speed step 2
Hello all,
Got a DCC ready Scaletrains ES44 a little while back and just installed Loksound V5 in it. Works like a charm with one exception. The locomotive actually starts moving at speed step 2, not 1 like it should. I have a Scaletrains ET44 that had DCC factory installed, it starts to crawl at speed step 1 like it should. I know this is just a CV tweak but need advice on which CV to change and what to change it to. Thanks in advance!

Fascia Installation Helpers
When installing my fascia its tough to handle long thin pieces of Masonite around corners.
To assist in this I made these little brackets from scraps of plywood. The brackets have step in them support the fascia at a standard distance below the joists and a little lip to keep the fascia from sliding off the end of the support. All the plywood pieces are just glued together.
