Freight Yard Sounds
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of freight yard sounds that you can
play when you pull into a yard. Each sequence described below will play as long as
it is left on, randomly generating sounds, but be sure to allow approximately 30
seconds between the button pushes described below to allow the FYS sufficient
time to run through each sequence.
• To cue the sound system to play the FYS, quickly but firmly tap the Bell
button once followed by 2 quick taps of the W histle/Horn button while
the engine is moving. Tap the buttons quickly but allow approximately ½
second between each press.
• Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger the
first sequence of FYS. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so that the
train will not move as you use the Direction button to trigger the sounds,
and Proto-Sound 2.0 has disabled operator control over the
Whistle/Horn and Bell buttons until the full FYS sequence is complete.
• After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the
Direction button again to trigger the second sequence of FYS.
•After about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the
third FYS sequence.
• Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press
the Direction button one more time to trigger the fourth and final FYS
sequence. The FYS will continue, and within a few seconds, the engine
will start and move out on its own at the current throttle setting, in the
same direction it was traveling when you began the sequence. Once the
bell turns off, the operator regains control of the transformer's Bell and
Whistle/Horn buttons and can ring the bell or blow the horn as usual.
