RailKing SW 8-9 Operating Manual

engine begins running, you can trigger the sounds to begin by entering

neutral.

ACTIVATING AND TRIGGERING FREIGHT YARD SOUNDS

Before FYS can be heard the feature must be activated first. Activation is

accomplished by holding down the bell button for three or more seconds as

described in the Activating and Triggering The Squeaking Brake Sounds

section found earlier. Once the feature is activated, FYS will be played the

next time the engine enters the neutral position. In order for FYS to begin,

power must remain on once the engine enters the Neutral position. At this

point ProtoSounds® has taken over control of your engine and disabled the

bell and whistle buttons from any further operator functions. In addition,

ProtoSounds® has reconfigured the way the reverse unit functions by

disabling the reverse unit state during operation of the FYS feature. This

forces the engine to leave your freight yard in the same direction it arrived

in. The following operator controlled “events” control FYS’s actions and

sounds.

Event 1 (Forward) While the locomotive is running in forward (or

reverse) FYS is activated by the operator pushing and holding the bell

button down for three or more seconds. The locomotive bell begins

chiming and can be left on or turned off without disabling FYS.

Event 2 (Neural Before Reverse) The operator now interrupts the

transformer throttle to stop the engine and put it into Neutral. If the throttle

setting was at 14 volts or higher , ProtoSounds® will play the sound of

squeaking brake sounds as the engine comes to a halt.

A. Upon stopping of the engine, the operator

must immediately turn the throttle back on to

keep the engine in the Neutral position. If the

bell was not turned off after activating FYS, it

now turns off automatically.
