Passenger Station Announcements (PFA)
Proto-Sound® is equipped with operator controlled Passenger Station
Sounds, referred to as PFA. The PFA sequence is designed to simulate
the arrival, disembarking, embarking and departure of a passenger train
in a Passenger Station. This easy-to-use feature allows you to play
digitally recorded sounds of Passenger Station sounds while your
engine is parked in the Neutral State. No additional wires or
modifications are needed to enjoy these amazing sound effects. The
sounds themselves are randomly “shuffled” by the Proto-Sound®
computer. This gives the system the ability to play the various sounds
in a different order each time PFA is enabled.
