The Whistle/Horn and Bell sounds will still be active, however. To turn the engine
sounds back on press the F25 button again (disable F25).
Additional F Functions
Idle Sequence - F14-F16. Pressing F14, F15, or F16 twice (toggling on then off) will
trigger an Idle Sequence if the engine is not moving. These vary from engine to engine
and may include things like checking the coal load, checking the water level, using
theAlemite grease gun on the drivers, etc. When triggered, these will run through the
sequence that varies in duration.
NOTE – The engine must be sitting still in order to trigger these
Extended Start-Up – F17. If your engine is shut down or you've just applied DCC
power pressing F17 twice (toggling it on then off) will start the Extended Start-Up
sounds. This is very similar to F3 except you will hear the crew talking back and forth
about getting the engine ready to run.
Extended Shut-Down – F18. If your engine is already up and running you can play the
Extended Shut Down sounds by pressing F18 twice (toggling on then off). The
Extended Shut Down is very similar to F3 in that the engine will ultimately shut down
but in the case of Extended Shut Down you will hear the crew talking back and forth
about how the engine ran, time schedules, etc.
Train Marker – F19. This function will enable or disable the engine showing whether it
is pulling a train or not. Please refer to page 12 for a visual description of how the train
lights will behave by toggling F19 on/off. Enabling F19 will indicate there is no train
being pulled by the locomotive and disabling F19 will indicate there is a train being
pulled by the locomotive.
Train Operation – F20. This function will set the train's operation lighting to be one of
two different ways. Either normal operation lighting (default) or, if running an Era I
engine, Special train lighting, or, if running an Era II engine, Wrong Line Operation.
Please refer to page 16 for a visual description of how the train lights will behave by
toggling F20 on/off. This function works in conjunction with F19. So, for example, if
you disable F19 (indicate there is a train being pulled by the locomotive, F20 will not
show any indication since the rear lights on the tender or boiler are shut off. Enabling
F20 will show your engine's lighting operating in its normal mode. Disabling F20 will
show your engine's lighting operating in its alternate mode – Special Service or Wrong
Line Operation - depending upon which Era engine you are running.
NOTE – F19 and F20 will not operate if you have F0 disabled.
One Shot Doppler – F21. You can set your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine to simulate
the actual Doppler Effect sound a real engine makes as it passes you. To do this, press
the F21 button once (enable F21) and then listen as the engine makes that pitch shift
that mimics the Doppler Effect perfectly. Press the F21 button again (disable F21) to
shut off the Doppler Effect. With a little practice in timing and speed you can make
this happen right in front of you.
