DCC Programming Quick Reference & Tips..................... 18
Throughout the manual we will use “DC” to refer to
operation using a traditional DC power supply and “DCC”
to refer to operation with a NMRA compliant Digital
Command Control system. Almost every operational
feature of this locomotive can be congured to suit your
personal taste by setting conguration variables (CV’s).
Many of these apply to DC and to DCC operation. See
the list of conguration variables in this manual and the
Paragon 4 Technical Reference Manual available at www.
broadway-limited.com for more information.
Rolling Thunder
Your Paragon 4 locomotive is equipped with Broadway
Limited’s new Rolling Thunder transmitter. This system
sends the low frequency sounds to a reciever and sub
woofer that greatly enhance the locomotive’s built in
sound system. The reciever and subwoofer are part
#1595. To use, install the receiver and subwoofer beneath
your layout as described in the receiver manual, then
operate the locomotive as you normally would in DC or
DCC. The model can be operated without the subwoofer
or receiver. The volume of low frequency sound played by
the subwoofer can be adjusted using CV 214. The default
is 128. O is off, 255 is the loudest. See the manual that
came with your Rolling Thunder receiver for more details.
Go Pack
The Paragon 4 sound decoder includes a built-in Go Pack
capacitor to power the locomotive through momentary
track power glitches. The loco will operate for several
seconds after power is interrupted. This feature is
automatically disconnected on the programming track to
facilitate CV reading. The duration of capacitor run time
can be reduced by setting CV12 to the number of seconds
desired, from 0 - 10. The default is 5 seconds. Set CV12=0
to disable this feature for block control operation.

Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
Operation with a DC Power Pack
HO Scale Paragon 4 diesel locomotives are ready-to-run.
Simply place the locomotive on a track powered by any
DC power pack with a variable output up to 16 volts DC.
As you increase the track voltage, the sound system will
begin functioning at around 9 volts DC. If you increase
track power slowly, you will hear the sound of a diesel
locomotive starting, then idling. As you slowly increase
track voltage, you will hear the sound of a diesel engine
increasing in speed as the locomotive prepares to move.
Once under way, you will hear the engine increasing its
RPM. There are a number of sounds the locomotive will
produce automatically to simulate the sound of a full-size
diesel locomotive.
If you do not use DCC, the DC Master Analog Control
Module (BLI stk# 1011), is required for activation of the
whistle, bell and some other sounds, and to control the
volume. It can also program CV’s without a DCC system.
The DC Master is shown in gure 1, connected between
the power pack and the track.

Bell The bell turns on when the “bell”
button on the DC Master is pressed.
It turns off when the “bell” button on
the DC Master is pressed a second
time. The interval between bell rings
can be adjusted by setting CV180. A
Lower number is faster. Set CV 223
to 1 to select an alternate bell. 0 is
default.
Air Compressor Press the “AUX” button on the
DCMaster while the locomotive is
stopped.
Dynamic Brakes Press the “AUX” button on the
DCMaster while the locomotive is
moving.
Automatically Activated Sounds
Startup The sound of a diesel locomotive
starting is heard when the track
power is turned on.
Shutdown The sound of a diesel locomotive
being turned off is heard when track
power is lowered to about 7 volts.
Brake Set Plays automatically when the
locomotive shuts down.
Brake Squeal Plays automatically when the
locomotive is slowed quickly.
Diesel Rev Levels The sound of a diesel locomotive
speeding up and slowing down is
heard when the model changes
speed or load.
Randomly Activated Sounds
The following sounds will be heard when the locomotive

6
Broadway Limited Imports
is running or sitting at idle. Various other random sounds
may play if appropriate for each locomotive.
Spit Valve Compressor
Air release Air lling
Fuel Fill Wheel Flange
Radiator Cooling Fan
Volume/Mute
To mute the sounds, press the “Vol” button once. To turn
the sounds back on, press the “Vol” button once. Horn
and bell still work when the other sounds are muted.
Your Paragon 4 locomotive’s sound system has 8 volume
levels that can be set from the DCMaster. At startup, it
is at the loudest setting. To lower the volume, press the
“Vol” button on the DCMaster two times quickly (like
double-clicking a mouse button on a PC). The volume will
decrease 1 level each time you do this. When the lowest
level is reached the volume will start to increase with
subsequent double-clicks of the button until the highest
volume level is reached, at which point the coupler sound
will play to signal maximum volume.
Tip: To make the locomotive always start at a lower
volume, set CV 133 to some number lower than 128. 0 is
off, 255 is max.
Tip: The volume of many sound features can be set
independent of the overall volume by setting CV’s 135
through 156 with the DC Master. See the next section.
Setting Conguration Variables (CV’s)
without DCC
Your Paragon 4 locomotive’s sound system is highly
congurable even without DCC by using the DCMaster.
Most of the locomotive’s functions are controlled by
setting Conguration Variables (CV’s). To change a CV:
1. Place the locomotive on the track with track
power off. Hold down both the “Aux” and Vol”
buttons on the DCMaster while turning track
power on to maximum voltage. The locomotive
will not move. The display on the DCMaster will

7
Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
read “E01.”
2. Press the bell(-) button or horn(+) button to scroll
past E15, then to the CV numbers which range
from 1-255 (There is no ‘E’ in front of the CV
numbers.) Stop at the one you want to change
and press the “Vol” button.
3. Use the bell(-) button or horn(+) button to scroll to
the new value, then press “Vol” to accept.
4. Turn off track power to nish programming.
Tip: The locomotive you are setting should be the only DC
Master compatible locomotive on the track. Otherwise all
locomotives on the track will have their CV’s reset.
Changing the function of the AUX button.
The AUX button can be made to do other functions by
changing CV222 with the DC Master. Select the desired
function from the table on page 15 and enter it into
CV222. See page 9 for a listing of the functions and their
descriptions.

Consists
Paragon 4 locomotives can be set to run in a DC consist with
each other by setting CV 230 to 1,2, or 3, which designates
the locomotive as front, middle or rear facing rear
locomotive, respectively. The rear loco facing backwards
since railroads commonly run the rear loco in reverse. This
automatically sets the lights, bell and horn to respond
appropriately. To break the consist, simply program zero
into CV230. (To make the rear facing loco forward facing,
Set CV230 to 3, then change CV229 to 1 to enable the
rear light.)
Paragon 4 locomotives start moving at a higher track
voltage than non-sound locomotives. This is done to allow
the sound system to start working before the locomotives
moves. As a result, it is difcult to consist a sound
locomotive with a non sound locomotive in DC operation.

Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
DCC Operation
Paragon 4 Locomotives come equipped with an integral
DCC decoder. Is automatically detects if you are using a
DCC system and responds appropriately.
FACTORY DEFAULT ADDRESS = 3.
To Reset, set CV8 = 8.
When programming on the main line in Operations Mode,
the locomotive will make a coupler sound to indicate when
a CV is changed. It will not make the coupler sound if the
same number is programmed into a CV. It will not make
the coupler sound on the program track. CV’s associated
with the address cannot be changed while the locomotive
is moving. This includes CV’s 1, 8, 17, 18, 19, 29, and
230.
DCC Programming
To change the engine ID, rst, make sure you can run
the locomotive as engine #3 and blow the horn. Then,
reprogram the engine ID on the main track or the program
track following the procedure for your DCC system. (Note:
Lenz systems do not allow changing address on the main
line. Use the program track. See page 24.)
Diesel Function Key Denition
Paragon 4 locomotives have the ability to use dozens of
functions. If your DCC system does not support this many
functions, the function you want to use can be assigned
to the function keys available on your DCC system. The
default function keys are listed below. To change the
assignments, see page 15.

Front and Rear Light (F0)
Pressing F0 turns the front and rear light on and off. The
light intensity can be adjusted with CV 231.
Diesel Bell (F1)
Pressing F1 turns on the bell. Most controllers allow
the bell to stay on until the F1 is pressed a second time.
Lower CV 180 to speed up the bell.
Diesel Horn (F2)
Pressing F2 activates the horn. The Paragon 4 horn is
highly playable. If you use the horn button instead of F2,
a quick press and release plays a short horn blast while

11
Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
holding down and releasing produces a long horn blast.
Holding the horn active for a long blast, releasing quickly
and pressing again, then releasing, plays an alternative
horn ending. This ending is unique for each locomotive
and can be disabled by setting CV245=16.
There are 3 horns, selected by setting CV 224 to 0,1, or 2.
There is an alternate horn, which can be toggled in place
of the main horn by pressing F22.
Some DCC controllers, including Digitrax DT400 and NCE
Procab, have the ability to “quill” the horn. This model is
equipped with a variable “analog” horn function that will
operate if your system is capable of sending the signal.
See P. 25.
The horn can be set to automatically play warning blasts
when the loco starts and stops by setting CV 227 to 6. Set
back to 2 to turn off. Set CV227=14 to delay loco moving
until warning blasts end.
Coupler (F3)
Pressing F3 when the locomotive is moving causes a
coupling sound effect to play. The effect simulates two
cars coupling. The sound of the slack between the cars
being removed may be simulated by pressing F3 when the
locomotive is stopped. This action arms the sound, making
it ready to play. The actual slack sound effect plays when
the engine starts moving.
Compressor and Dynamic Brakes (F4)
Pressing F4 activates the compressor when the locomotive
is stopped. Pressing F4 again shuts the compressor off.
The dynamic brake is activated by pressing F4 when the
locomotive is moving. Pressing F4 again or stopping or
increasing the speed shuts the dynamic sound brake off.
The sound heard is the sound of the cooling grid fans that
come on when the dynamic brake is used. The engine
RPM will ramp down when the dynamic brake is on.
Diesel Engine Rev Up (F5) or Down (F6)
The diesel sound RPM level is normally controlled

12
Broadway Limited Imports
automatically based on the loading of the motor. A
heavier load, curve and hills all cause the sounds to run
at a higher RPM. Going down a hill will cause the engine
sounds to run a lower RPM. To control manually, press F5
to increase the engine RPM to one level per press. Press
F6 to decrease. The engineer can increase the engine
RPM, then start moving the locomotive. Once the F5 or
F6 buttons have been used to manually control the RPM
level, the level will stay where it was set until the throttle is
returned to zero, at which time the engine RPM sound will
return to automatic operation.
Mars Light (F7)
Pressing F7 will turn on the Mars or ditch lights. Pressing
F7 again will turn off the Mars or ditch lights. The ditch
lights will be on steady and will oscillate when the horn is
blown. (See the Technical manual “L1” output for more
options.) If your model is equipped with a smoke unit, F7
will turn the smoke ON/OFF.
Master Volume and Mute (F8)
To mute the sounds, press the F8 button once. To turn the
sounds back on, press the F8 button once. Horn and bell
still work when the other sounds are muted.
There are 8 volume levels that can be set from the DCC
handheld controller. At startup, it is at the loudest setting.
To lower the volume, press the F8 button two times
quickly (like double-clicking a mouse button on your PC).
The volume will decrease one level each time you do this.
When the lowest level is reached the volume will start to
increase with subsequent double-clicks of the button until
the highest volume level is reached, at which point the
coupler sound will play to signal maximum volume. Tip:
To make the locomotive always start at a lower volume,
set CV 133 to some number lower than 128. 0 is off, 255
is max.
Startup/Shutdown Diesel Engine (F9)
In DCC, the engine powers up with all sound effects off.
The startup sequence is played by pressing F9. If the
locomotive is already playing sound effects, pressing F9
initiates the shutdown diesel locomotive sound effect.

13
Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
The sound effects can also be started by increasing the
throttle, which will not cause the startup sequence to play.
Radiator Cooling Fan (F10)
Pressing F10 activates the radiator cooling fan. Once the
fan is active, pressing F10 turns the fan off.
Air Filling and Air Release (F11)
Pressing F11 while the locomotive is stopped activates the
air lling sound effect. While the locomotive is moving,
pressing F11 activates the air release sound effect.
Brake Set and Brake Release (F12)
When the locomotive is at speed step zero, pressing F12
activates the brake set sound effect. When the locomotive
is above speed step zero, pressing F12 activates the brake
release sound effect.
Automatic brake set and brake release may be enabled
by setting bit 0 of CV227 to 1.
Passenger Sounds (F14)
When stopped, press F14 to play a passenger train
departing message. Do not press this button if you do not
have a passenger train, as this will cause unprototypical
operation. After pressing, other passenger departure
sounds will be heard when the train starts to move. If the
train has been moving for over 30 seconds, pressing F14
will play station arrival messages.
Freight Sounds (F15)
When stopped, press F15 to play a Freight train departing
message. Do not press this button if you do not have a
Freight train, as this will cause unprototypical operation.
After pressing, other Freight departure sounds will be
heard when the train starts to move. If the train has been
moving for over 30 seconds, pressing F15 will play freight
yard arrival messages.
F16 - F21 play one of 4 messages in random order.

14
Broadway Limited Imports
F16 is Maintenance Facility Sounds.
F17 is Crew Radio Messages
F18 is city-related radio chatter.
F19 is farm-related radio chatter.
F20 is industrial sounds.
F21 is lumber mill sounds.
Caution: Do not press these buttons if the corresponding
background sound is not appropriate for your layout.
Track Sounds (F23)
When moving slow, pressing the F23 button will play the
distinct sounds of wheels crossing a track joint. When
moving faster, the track joint sound is louder and more of
a continuous roar.
Auxiliary Light Control (F24)
Turns on/off the MARS or ditch lights if the model is so
equipped.
Long Whistle (F25)
Pressing F25 plays a long recorded whistle. It will not
continue to play if the button is held longer, like the main
whistle will.
Macro Recording (F26 and F27)
When operating in DCC, the operation of the locomotive
can be recorded and later played back. To use this
function, press F27. (If your DCC system does not have an
F27 key, assign that function to a key you do have using
the directions on P15.) The front light will ash and the
sound will momentarily stop. Once the sound starts again,
every keystroke will be recorded. Operate the train as you
normally would, being careful not to adjust the throttle
too much, as this uses recording space quickly. When
nished recording, press F27 again to stop recording.
The rear light will ash indicating the recording has been
saved. Be careful not to accidentally hit F27 again, as this
will start recording over your previous recording. If this
happens, interrupt track power before hitting F27 again.
Press F26 to replay. During replay, the DCC controller
cannot control the engine. To interrupt the playback,

15
Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
either interrupt track power, or press the emergency stop
button.
CV 238 controls the number of times the recording will
repeat, between 1-14 times by setting the value to 64 plus
the number of repeats. Setting CV 238 to 79 makes the
recording repeat indenitely. The timing of the loop can
be shortened by setting CV239. Its range is from 0-255.
Each number shortens the loop by 0.1 seconds.
The engine contains a pre-recorded sequence. To load it,
set CV8 to a value of 10. Then press F26 to play. This
works well for demonstrations and will repeat indenitely
if CV238 = 79.
NOTE: There is a very limited amount of recording
space available. If the space is used up, the engine will
repeatedly make a coupler clanking sound to indicate the
memory is full. The engine can run for a long time without
using more space, but changing the throttle uses space
quickly. 28 speed step mode is best for recording, since
it uses less space.
NOTE: When using NCE controllers, multiple function
commands may be sent at the same time the rst time
a function key is pressed after powering up the loco. To
prevent this, press the “Select Loco” button and its address
before operating the locomotive.
Function Key Mapping
Most DCC systems have between 8 and 28 function keys
or buttons. Since the Paragon 4 sound system has more
functions than there are buttons available, the functions
can be made to work on any function button. This is done
by entering the value of the function into the CV associated
with the button.

CV128 = 38 matches F0 - 12 with BLI Blueline Engine
CV128 = 113 matches most QSI equipped engines.
CV128 = 141 matches Sound Traxx Tsunami equipped
engines.
Brake Squeal
A sudden decrease in throttle activates the brake squeal
sound effect. DCC Brake Control (CV185) controls how
sensitive the brakes are to changes in throttle. The
factory value is 20. Increasing this value decreases the
brake sensitivity while decreasing this value increases the
sensitivity. Set to 5 for 28 speed step operation.
Randomly Activated Sounds
The following sounds will be heard when the locomotive
is running or sitting at idle. Various other random sounds
may play if appropriate for each locomotive.
Spit Valve Compressor
Air release Air lling
Tip: The volume of many sound features can be set
independent of the overall volume by setting CV’s 135
through 156. See page 23.
CV Programming
The sound and operation of Paragon 4 locomotives can be
customized by setting a number of conguration variables
(CV’s). A list of DCC settings is shown on page 23.
Broadway Limited Imports recommends programming
your Paragon 4 locomotives on the main track using
Operations Mode programming or using Direct mode or
Paged mode on the programming track.
Reading CV’s
Digitrax and Lenz systems can read Paragon 4 CV’s
in any mode. Most MRC and NCE systems require a
programming track booster to read CV’s, such as the

19
Paragon 4 With Rolling Thunder
Power Pax by DCC Specialties. A booster is not required
to operate the train or to program CV’s.
Resetting to Factory Default
The Paragon 4 sound system can be reset to the factory
default by setting CV8 to a value of 8. If this cannot be
accomplished, the system can be manually reset by
holding down the tiny reset button on the sound circuit
board while turning on track power.
Switcher Mode
This locomotive has a switcher mode which sets CV’s
3, 4, and 6 to reduce momentum and improve throttle
response for precise spotting. To enable, set CV128=3.
To disable, set CV128=4.
Note that setting CV128 triggers a number of other CV’s to
be set automatically. Each of these CV’s can be read, but
CV128 will always read the last value entered.
Pro Mode Lighting
This locomotive includes Pro Mode Lighting. To enable, set
CV128=1. To disable, set CV128=2. Enabling Pro Mode
lighting sets up individual control of all the locomotive
lighting. Once enabled, the function keys are re-mapped
as shown below (if your model has these lights). You can
adjust the mapping to suit your needs using the instruction
shown on page 15.
F0 = Front light
F3 = Rear light
F4 = Front Marker Lights
F5 = Front/Rear Numberboards
F6 = Reverse Mars Light
F7 = Dim Front/Rear Lights
F10 = Cab Light
F11 = Forward Mars Light
F12 = Rear Marker Lights

20
Broadway Limited Imports
If you want to make the locomotive part of a consist, and
have Pro Mode Lighting available for the consist:
Set CV128=21, and then CV128=1 for a lead engine.
Set CV128=22, and then CV128=1 for a middle engine.
Set CV128=23, and then CV128=1 for a trailing engine.
Set CV128=20 to exit a Pro Mode consist.
Creating a Pro Mode consist sets the default consist
address to 60. This can be changed by setting CV19 to
your preferred address. To make any locomotive run in
reverse, set CV19 to the consist address plus 128.
DCC Easy Consist
Start with each engine having a unique address.
