The WOWSound Diesel sound decoder uses a slightly different type of “Brake” than the TCS Standard decoders.WOWSound uses a separate “Brake” button (default is Button 7) and a separate “Brake Release” (default is Button 6). Every time you press the “Brake” button there is a 20% brake application as well as a random brake squeal sound.
If you continue to press the “Brake” button several more times there is an additional 20% brake application each time you press the button. With 5 presses of the “Brake” button you are in emergency and the loco stops very quickly.
Anytime that you press the “Brake Release” button you will hear the air release from the brakes while the brakes release and you can continue. Increasing the throttle setting will also release the brakes.
Pressing the “Brake Button” will apply the brake regardless of the throttle setting. So you can simulate “Power Braking” with passenger trains to keep the train stretched etc.

The “Brake” and “Brake Release” buttons can be re-mapped to any other buttons desired. See "Re-Map Sounds to Function Buttons". While the default values for the Braking rates work very well for most people; they are adjustable using CV’s. See CV's below.

NMRA CV 183
Train Brake Rate 1
Range of Values0-255
Default Value32

NMRA CV 183 - Train Brake Rate 1

This CV Controls the deceleration rate when the brake button is pressed 1 time.

NMRA CV 184
Train Brake Rate 2
Range of Values0-255
Default Value26

NMRA CV 184 - Train Brake Rate 2

This CV Controls the deceleration rate when the brake button is pressed 2 times.

NMRA CV 185
Train Brake Rate 3
Range of Values0-255
Default Value16

NMRA CV 185 - Train Brake Rate 3

This CV Controls the deceleration rate when the brake button is pressed 3 times.

NMRA CV 186
Train Brake Rate 4
Range of Values0-255
Default Value8

NMRA CV 186 - Train Brake Rate 4

This CV Controls the deceleration rate when the brake button is pressed 4 times.

NMRA CV 187
Train Brake Rate 5
Range of Values0-255
Default Value3

NMRA CV 187 - Train Brake Rate 5

This CV Controls the deceleration rate when the brake button is pressed 5 times.
This is the most the brakes can be applied, the train will not brake any faster than the deceleration rate in this CV.
For immediate stops use the E-Stop function of your specific throttle.
