Sometimes the Cab Chatter 
sounds don’t play.

I can’t get the engine to run after I 
power up the transformer. It sits 

The engine won’t lock into 
forward, neutral, or reverse.

The sounds seem distorted, 
especially when the whistle or bell 
is activated.

The engine will not leave the initial 
neutral setting.

The FYS/PSA sounds occasionally 
repeat themselves.

I get no sounds when the engine 
shifts between directions.

After I turn off my transformer, my 
engine continues to make sounds 
before quitting.

Cab Chatter plays only in neutral 
at random intervals.

The engine is locked into the 
neutral position. Follow the 
procedure in the “Lock into a 
Direction” section.
Engine speed must be below 10 
scale mph (approx. 10 volts or 
less in conventional mode).

Proto-Sound 2.0 volume is set too 
high. Turn the volume control knob 
on the bottom of the chassis 
counter-clockwise to reduce the 
volume.

Check to be sure the battery is 
installed and fully charged. See 
the “Self-Charging Battery Back-
Up” section.

The battery may be dead or need 
to be charged. See the “Self-
Charging Battery Back-Up” 
section.

Proto-Sound 2.0 is designed to 
continue to sound for a few 
seconds after power to the track 
has been shut off.

Proto-Sound 2.0 has a built-in 
random number generator that 
randomly selects each sound clip 
to play. Because there are a 
limited number of sound clips 
available in each FYS/PSA 
sequence, it is probable that some 
of these sound clips will be 
repeated from time to time.
