Freight Yard Sounds (FYS):
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of freight yard sounds that you
can play when you pull into a freight yard. Each sequence described below
will play as long as it is left on, randomly generating sounds, but be sure to
allow time between the button pushes described below to allow the FYS
sufficient time to run through each sequence.
1. To cue the sound system to play the FYS, quickly but firmly press the Bell
button once followed by 2 quick but firm presses of the Whistle button while
the engine is moving. As soon as you have keyed in this code, you will hear
the announcement for the upcoming stop and the bell will begin to ring.
2. Press the Direction button or drop and advance the throttle 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 and Bell buttons until the full FYS sequence is complete.
3. After waiting approximately thirty seconds for that sequence to run, press
the Direction button again to trigger the second sequence of FYS.
4. After approximately another thirty seconds, press the Direction button again
to trigger the third FYS sequence.
5. Again, after allowing about thirty seconds for the third 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 with the bell ringing.
Once the bell turns off, the operator regains control of the transformer's bell
and whistle buttons and can ring the bell or blow the whistle as usual.
Note: The engine will move based on the current throttle setting. Verify the
throttle is set correctly before the engine begins to move.
