PFA
F4 – PFA
PFA in MTH lingo stands for Passenger/Freight Announcements. Your engine is pre-
programmed for the appropriate type of sounds based upon the type of service the real-
life engine used in daily operation.
There are five sound sequences or segments in the PFA feature. Each segment is advanced
by you, the operator. You hit the Direction button on the DCC controller to let the engine
know you want it to advance. In most PFA sequences there is a minimum wait time of
about 10 seconds before it will advance. So, here is how a typical PFA sequence operates:
1. Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) to start the PFA sequence on the
engine. You'll hear "Now arriving..."
2. Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) again to stop the engine at the
station. It is recommended to do it this way rather than bring the engine to a stop with
the throttle since PFA allows automatic departure (movement) of the engine after the
last F4 toggle. You'll hear the engine sounds switch from the cab to the station with all
the ambient station sounds you'd hear in the real thing
3. Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) again to advance the sequence.
You'll hear "Now boarding..."
4. Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) again to advance the sequence. You'll
hear "Now departing..."
5. Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) the last time to advance the sequence.
You'll hear "All aboard..." the engine sounds will switch over to the cab again and for a
few seconds the bell will ring. At this point, increase speed to depart station.
Note: In order to maximize the realism, we recommend that you reduce the engine's
speed to a slow pace just prior to hitting the F4 button the first time (to activate PFA)
