Enhanced Neutral Sounds; Squeaking Brake Sounds - Rail King SANTA FE STEEL RAIL FREIGHT HAULER 2-6-0 Operating Instructions Manual

Enhanced Neutral Resting Sounds Sounds
Whenever your 2-6-0 locomotive is parked in Neutral randomly played
steam engine resting sound effects will occur every 2 to 30 seconds.
There are three different resting steam sounds that will play; blow-down
sounds, injector sounds and pop-off valve sounds. They are designed to
play at random intervals to eliminate repetitive and boring sequences
though there is no guarantee that you won't hear the same resting
sound repeated twice or more times.

Squeaking Brake Sounds

Proto-Sound® equipped engines feature the ability to play the sound of
squeaking brakes whenever your engine slows in speed. There are two
settings for activating the squeaking brake sounds. The default setting
allows the brake sounds to play while the engine is in forward or
reverse and the transformer throttle is lowered from a high setting to a
low setting (14 volts to 8 volts or less). The sound itself is a stored
record on the Proto-Sound® software chip and will always play the
same brake sound for the same three second length each time the
voltage is reduced from high to low. Some practice may be required to
synchronize the playing of the brake sounds with the movement of the
engine. It is not
uncommon for the
engine to stop
before the brake
sound is completed.
Operators will find
that by coordinating
the movement of the
throttle setting from
8 volts to off will
allow the engine to maintain its movement while the brake sounds play.
Note: The brake sounds will not be heard if the transformer throttle is
not set above 14 volts and/or not reduced below 8 volts.
