Grade Crossing Signal
Again, just like a real engine, you can trigger the Grade Crossing Signal on your engine. This is
two long, one short, one long whistle/horn blast.
F11 – Grade Crossing Signal
Pressing F11 twice (toggling on then off) will sound your Crossing Signal.

Auto/Manual Pantograph Operation

F12 – Auto/Manual Pantograph Operating Mode
Toggling F12 ON will enable Manual Pantograph Mode. Disabling F12 will return the engine to
Auto Pantograph Operating Mode. If you enable F12 you can then use F13 and F14 to drive the
Front/Rear Pantographs Up/Down.
F13 – Front Pantograph Up/Down
Toggling F13 ON will raise the front pantograph if you have F12 enabled. Toggling F13 OFF will
lower the front pantograph.
F14 – Rear Pantograph Up/Down
Toggling F14 ON will raise the rear pantograph if you have F12 enabled. Toggling F14 OFF will
lower the rear pantograph. Irrespective of the pantograph's positions in manual mode; if you re-
enable Auto mode (toggle F12 OFF) the pantographs will automatically realign themselves to the
correct orientation based upon the engine's current direction of travel.

Engine Sounds

F25 – Engine Sounds
You can turn the Engine Sounds On/Off by pressing the F25 button. Pressing it once (enabling
F25) will cause the Engine Sounds to shut off. 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

F15-F16 – Idle Sequence
Pressing 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 the Alemite 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
F17 – Extended Start-Up
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.
F18 – Extended Shut-Down
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.
F19 – Road/Push
This function will toggle between Road and Push service. To see how toggling F19 will affect
your lights please refer to page 18 and 19.
