LEGACY RailSounds Sequence Control
Y
our LEGACY-equipped locomotive features Sequence Control. Based on the movement and speed
of the locomotive, Sequence Control automatically plays the sound effects of an entire trip, from
departure to destination, while you run your locomotive. Prototypical whistle signals, bell, and radio
chatter are added automatically as you spin your throttle—no need to memorize a sequence of but-
ton presses.
To activate the Sequence Control feature, press and hold the
AUX1
button for three
seconds. You'll hear a unique bell/whistle signal, indicating that Sequence Control is now
enabled. Release the
AUX1
key when you hear the sound.
Now, radio chatter, air brake release, and warning signals will play automatically as you
move out, reach cruising speed, and then decelerate for arrival, as illustrated in Figure 7. Plus,
you can still activate CrewTalk communication and TowerCom announcements using your
remote.
To discontinue Sequence Control, you must tap
AUX1
, and then tap the
0
key or the
RESET
button. Cycling track power off and back on also turns of Sequence Control mode.
During sequence control mode operation, speed step 1 is used to trigger departure
effects such as air brake release and departure whistle. Therefore your engine will
not begin moving until speed step 2 and the Roll Mode button will bring your engine
to a stop while Sequence Control mode is enabled. For the most realistic operation,
medium or high momentum is recommended when using Sequence Control.
