Note:
Flanges are a sound effect only and will not slow the locomotive.
Coupler Sounds
There are two ways to use the Coupler Sounds effect key.
As your locomotive is about to couple up to a string of cars, press the
Coupler Sounds
key to trigger the Coupler Crash sound. Use the
Coupler Sounds
key again as the locomotive moves out to trigger the
same sound as the slack is taken up in the cars
19
.
Coupler Sounds have a different effect in Neutral. While stopped in
Neutral in uncoupling position over an uncoupling magnet, press the
Coupler Sounds
key once to produce the sound of the lift bar and
coupling pin being raised. This also Arms the uncoupling sound effect.
Press the
Coupler Sounds
key again while pulling away from the cars
(or remaining stationary in Neutral) to trigger the sound of the coupler
knuckle opening and air-lines parting.
Smoke
Your locomotive may be equipped with an automatic Smoke Unit,
which may control the smoke differently in each of the directional states.
Press the
Smoke
key once to turn on the automatic Smoke Unit.
Double-press the
Smoke
key to turn off the automatic Smoke Unit. The
Smoke Unit will be off in all directional states.
Note:
The Smoke Unit in your locomotive may be wired directly to the
power pick-ups in which case it will not be controlled by QARC
technology and pressing the Smoke button on the Quantum Engineer
will have no effect.

The locomotive must actually be moving in order for this effect to occur.
