Tip #6:
You can leave any of the event states at any time after entering
the state by simply interrupting the transformer throttle. Any sound effects
programmed to play in that event will simply not occur. The only
exception is Event 2 and Event 5. In Event 2, interrupting the throttle has
no effect on FYS until after the man’s whistle has completed and the
freight car doors have opened. In Event 5, you cannot interrupt FYS until
after the engine begins to move. Interrupting the throttle before the
engine begins to move has no affect on the locomotive’s operation.

Special Reverse Unit Options

Reverse Unit Lockout Operation

Proto-Sound® unique design eliminates the need for a lock-out switch
on the locomotive by allowing the customer to lock the engine into any
directional state (forward, neutral or reverse) from the transformer. This
will allow users to run the engine on layouts equipped with block
signals or stop stations which would normally cycle the engine back
into neutral. The feature must be first turned on by accessing RESET
Feature 40 (See page 29).

Locking The Engine Into Forward or Reverse

To lock the engine into Forward or Reverse, use the transformer
throttle to enter Forward or Reverse (whichever state you want to lock
the engine into) and while the engine is moving press the whistle
button. WHILE THE HORN IS BLOWING TURN THE THROTTLE OFF
AND THEN LET GO OF THE WHISTLE BUTTON. After about one
second, you will hear a short horn blast. QUICKLY TURN THE
THROTTLE BACK ON AGAIN. Your engine is now locked into Forward
or Reverse and it will remain so until you unlock the engine, even if you
wait a year to run your engine again.

Unlocking The Engine

Unlocking the engine is a similar procedure. WHILE THE ENGINE IS
MOVING, PRESS THE WHISTLE BUTTON. WHILE THE HORN IS
BLOWING, TURN THE THROTTLE OFF AND THEN LET GO OF THE
WHISTLE BUTTON. After three seconds without power you will hear
one chime of the RESET bell. TURN ON THE POWER AGAIN. Your
engine is now in RESET and will operate normally once you interrupt
power and enter the forward direction.
