RailKing Galloping Goose™ Operating Manual
TIPS ON USING THE SAS FEATURES
SAS is a unique feature of ProtoSounds® that can be completely controlled
by the operator or automatically configured on the layout. You decide how,
when or if you want to utilize the feature. By reviewing the following tips you
should find solutions or suggestions to the various operating scenarios you
might encounter when using SAS.
Tip #1:
You can escape the SAS sequence by turning the transformer throttle
to OFF after SAS has been activated and waiting 3 seconds before turning the
throttle back ON. This will return the Galloping Goose™ to the RESET
position.
Tip #2:
You do not have to be in the forward state to utilize SAS. For
example if you activate the SAS feature while in reverse and interrupt the
throttle to enter neutral, you will be entering neutral before forward rather than
neutral before reverse as normally defined by the ProtoSound® sequencing.
SAS, however, remembers what direction state the Galloping Goose™ was in
before activation and will return the Galloping Goose™ to that same state
upon completion of the SAS sequence, skipping the next direction state
normally found in the ProtoSound® sequence. This will allow your Galloping
Goose™ to leave the stop in the same reverse direction that it arrived in.
Tip #3:
In Auto Mode, putting the Galloping Goose™ into Neutral
immediately after the Galloping Goose™ stops (when SAS has been activated)
will cause SAS to play 3 dings of the bell, play the door closing sound and
repower the Galloping Goose™ into the forward mode.
Tip #4:
In Auto Mode, putting the Galloping Goose™ into Neutral after the
Galloping Goose™ stops (when SAS has been activated) and the sound of the
Galloping Goose™ doors opening has played will cause SAS to play two dings
of the bell, play the door closing sound and then proceed into the forward
mode.
Tip #5:
In the Track Configured Mode, interrupting the power while the
Goose is travelling through the insulated track section will cause SAS to sound
3 dings of the bell, close the doors and proceed off in the reverse direction.
