Running your locomotive in the DCC
environment

Dynamic brakes (F5)

P
ressing the F5 button will trigger the dynamic brake sounds. The dynamic brake function
automatically turns off when entering or leaving neutral or if the throttle is turned up.

Creating the Doppler effect with DCC (F6)

W
ith DCC, there are two ways to trigger the Doppler effect. First, you can use the function
button dedicated to the Doppler effect. Alternately, you may see "Creating the Doppler"
page 6 to quickly interrupt the horn signal.
To use the DCC controller to create this effect, start the horn by pressing and releasing the F2
button. Press the F6 (Doppler shift) button to hear the Doppler shift. Turn off the horn sounds
with the F2 button, and the locomotive sounds will return to normal within a few seconds.

Squealing brakes (F7)

S
quealing brakes come on automatically when the speed is reduced from high-speed travel
(35 smph) to almost stopping (less than 10 smph). However, pressing the F7 button when the
locomotive is moving at any speed will manually activate squealing brake sound and pressing F7
repeatedly will extend brake sounds to imitate tight curves or long stops. The F7 button can be
pressed any number of times while the squealing occurs to continue the brake sounds.
If you slow the locomotive too quickly, the brake sounds will terminate abruptly
Note!
when the locomotive enters neutral.
