keypad into ten command buttons. After you press the

RailSounds sound system effects are in italic type.
Stops and resets the locomotive. Resets the locomotive’s direction to forward.
Your locomotive keeps track of its coal and water levels. Higher engine speeds and/or heavy
labor will use fuel at a faster rate. Like a prototypical steam locomotive, water is consumed
at a faster rate than coal.
A "long reset" plays the sound of coal pouring into the tender. Press and hold
AUX1, 0
for at least three seconds. The coal loading lasts as long as you hold the button. When
you release the button, the sounds will stop and you will hear the engineer confirm that
the tank is full. This also automatically refills your water level, which can be refilled
independently using the
3
button.
Refueling sequence.
Raises the overall master volume of the LEGACY RailSounds sound system. To
independently adjust the level of the background sounds only (e.g., the chuffing and steam
hiss), tap
AUX1
and then this key.
Sound volume increases.
When adjusting the overall volume, you'll hear a single bell hit that gets louder or softer
with each volume adjustment. When the volume is at maximum, additional button
presses have no effect and won't play the bell. When adjusting the background sounds
(
AUX1
, then a volume key) you'll hear the volume change without a single bell hit.

current level of coal or water and current speed, press

CrewTalk communication.
In motion, plays the sound of the injector transferring water from the tender to the boiler. At
a stop, plays the sound of a water tower spigot arm lowering, then water gushing from the
tower into the tender, which also "refills" the virtual water level in the tender and plays a
confirming radio dialog.
Water injector/water tower sounds.
